Overview

Build your knowledge and practical skills in industrial technologies with ACU's flexible microcredentials.

 Designed for current and aspiring Technologies and Applied Sciences (TAS) teachers, these short courses provide industry-relevant knowledge that can be applied directly in educational settings. Complete individual microcredentials to develop specific skills or combine them to progress towards further study.

 Each completed microcredential earns a digital badge and can be used as a credit pathway into the Graduate Diploma in Design and Technologies Education.

Choose from study areas including:

  • timber design 
  • product design 
  • industrial technology 
  • electromechanical and engineering technologies 
  • design and technologies curriculum, pedagogy and assessment. 


These flexible multi-mode microcredentials are delivered online, with practical workshop intensives delivered in the NSW Department of Education school holidays.
