This initiative offers an alternative pathway for aspiring secondary and/or specialist educators with an existing undergraduate degree to gain teaching qualifications while undertaking paid work in a Victorian government secondary or specialist school.
The course structure course allows you to complete 90 credit points in your first year in an accelerated mode. You will benefit from two professional experience placements totalling 35 days in schools in your first year. Once you have successfully completed your first year, you will embark on a paid professional internship, completing the remainder of the 70 credit points of your degree, ensuring you are classroom confident.
We’re committed to helping you achieve your goals. TNV provide supportive, flexible and accessible learning and employment experiences within your own community, connecting your learning to the school workplace. Targeted wraparounds have been designed to reduce barriers, build student resilience and preparedness to teach, with intensive professional learning in key areas including teacher wellbeing, inclusive and positive learning environments, literacy support, artificial intelligence, gifted learners, and Indigenous culture.
TNV students will be part of a special cohort, embedded in a geographical hub connecting pre-service teachers with mentors, academic staff and schools, providing in-person and online activities.
The Ballarat hub serves as the anchor for inner regional students, and the Melbourne hub supports participants in the western Melbourne growth corridor. A virtual hub provides inclusion and access for students beyond Ballarat, ensuring continuity for those in the Wimmera, Grampians and south-west Victoria areas.
These hubs deliver regular mentoring, peer engagement and online wraparound supports, fostering strong connections and sustained relationships across metropolitan and regional locations.
To be eligible for scholarship funding, you must first apply and enrol in the ACU Master of Teaching (Secondary) course and satisfy the Department’s scholarship criteria.
The Teach Now Victoria (TNV) Program is supported by the Victorian Government.
