About this program

TAFE NSW’s Diploma of Adult Education (HE20608) is for people who are already teachers and want to apply for and succeed in academic leadership roles. Students study adult learning principles, best teaching practices, teamwork, problem solving, and using technology, alongside adult learning theories and how they relate to the learning environment.

The course uses a mixture of theory and practical course work to build skills in designing, delivering, and assessing programs, organising training and assessment, and carrying out academic research in real situations. Students also explore facilitation and assessment methods, including Humanism, Constructivism and Behaviourism, and apply Universal Design for Learning with learning frameworks such as Fink, Kolb and Bloom.
