Our Courses

Nationally accredited courses in education and formation in the context of the Catholic tradition.

Foundations

Foundations provides the required theology and Religious Education competencies/units to gain accreditation to teach Religious Education in Catholic schools in Queensland.

It is a requirement that religious educators must have appropriate and adequate knowledge of the Catholic faith, tradition, and practice in order to competently prepare and deliver religious education. Competence in theology and scripture are also an essential component of accreditation. The Foundations course meets requirements for religious educators who want to deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith. With an innovative design and competency-based assessments, this course is a practical and relevant choice for aspiring teachers and teachers working in Catholic schools.
