Steiner Education Primary Teaching – Certificate PTC

Course Overview

The Steiner Education Primary Teaching – Certificate is the most rigorous, well rounded and practical qualification required to teach in a Steiner school.

The Steiner Education Primary Teaching – Foundation (PTF) and the Steiner Education Primary Teaching  – Certificate (PTC) course in Rudolf Steiner Education explore theoretical, practical and artistic modules that will give you a comprehensive experience of Rudolf Steiner Education.

These two courses are delivered as separate part-time courses over one year each. When both are completed, a Certificate in Rudolf Steiner Education is awarded. (Statements of Attainment are awarded for individual modules on completion).

The Steiner Education Primary Teaching – Certificate is the second and final year course in our comprehensive training program.

OUTCOME

This course is recognised by Steiner schools in Australia for those seeking employment as teachers in Steiner schools. 90% of our graduates’ secure work in a Steiner school. However, for all Australian schools, teachers need the requisite government qualifications (Bachelor of Education, Graduate Diploma in Ed or/and Master of Teaching).

NESA: For NSW proficient level teachers undertaking the Steiner Education Primary Teaching – Certificate, we can provide  hours of NESA accreditation. There is an additional $120 cost for the administration of your NESA accreditation. Please note you must be a NESA proficient level teacher to get NESA credit for your training with us.

Students access reading materials via our online learning management portal and assessments are uploaded here too. There are no formal pre-requisites required to undertake this course, aside from the  Steiner Education Primary Foundation PTF course, but it is expected that students can self-manage and dedicate a few hours each week to study the  readings and be online for the webinars. Some assignments are required for Steiner Curriculum-Advanced Studies, Goethean Science and Perspectives on Steiner’s Worldview of Human Development.  No assignments are required for the creative modules.

For those participants wanting NESA credits there will be a short questionnaire to complete if the NESA courses are run online.
