May 2014 GRADUATES CONSIDERING AUSTRALIA WE HAVE GREAT NEWS

Our Bachelor of Teaching (Early Childhood Education) has been approved by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA), the body governing early childhood education in Australia.

The approval allows graduates to be granted early childhood teacher (ECT)* status in all Australian states and territories without having to apply for an assessment of their qualification.

Harpreet Singh, who now resides in Melbourne, has recently been granted ECT status: “Having ECT status has lots of benefits, like increasing my employability and chances of getting a better salary,” says Harpreet, “and it’s further international recognition of my degree that I worked hard to gain.”

Graduates who want to be granted ECT status can apply through the ACECQA website. NZTC’s Bachelor of Teaching (Early Childhood Education) is listed under code PC9727. A certificate confirming ECT status will be sent in the post.

* The early childhood sector in Australia differs from the one in New Zealand. There are three different levels of teachers - ‘educators’ who hold a Level 3 qualification, ‘educators’ who can supervise other educators and hold a Level 5 or 6 qualification; and ‘early childhood teachers’ who hold a degree and have a management position around curriculum and teaching.
