Frequently Asked Questions

Which course is best to become a teacher?

There's no single best course, as it depends on the age group and setting you want to work in. Education qualifications range from Certificate III to Master's Degree, with options like the Bachelor of Education (Physical and Health Education) suiting those aiming for classroom teaching. Comparing course level, specialisation and delivery mode helps you find the right fit for your goals.

Can I study a diploma of teacher education online?

Yes, some education courses at Diploma level are available to study online, alongside blended and on-campus options. Delivery mode varies by provider, so check each listing to confirm how a specific course is taught. Online study can suit people balancing work or family commitments while working toward a role in education or education support.

Is there a free teaching degree available in Victoria?

Government funding for education courses depends on the provider and the state you're in, so no course can be called simply free. Some education courses are government-funded or subsidised, while others aren't, including in Victoria. You can see funding details listed against each course on this page, or enquire directly with the provider to check your eligibility.

What is the fastest way to become a teacher in Australia?

Course length in education ranges from four months to four years, so the fastest path depends on the qualification level you choose. Shorter Certificate III or IV courses can lead into education support roles more quickly, while a Bachelor's or Master's Degree, needed for classroom teaching, takes longer. Comparing duration and entry requirements across providers helps you plan a realistic timeline.

How much do teachers earn in Australia?

Pay varies by state, experience and the education setting you work in. A typical primary school teacher salary in Australia is reported by PayScale Australia, with higher figures often seen in senior or specialist roles. Early childhood education and education support roles can have different pay scales depending on qualification level and employer.
