COURSE DESCRIPTION
This full-time two-year accredited course equips students with a comprehensive grounding in anthroposophy (from the Greek anthropos meaning ‘human’ and sophia meaning ‘wisdom’) and in the theory and practice of Steiner Education.
The course also provides a rich experience for students seeking to develop themselves in accordance with their deepest nature and to find their true path in life.
We offer both an on-campus Advanced Diploma course in Warranwood and an online Advanced Diploma (pending sufficient enrolments.)
Over the two years the students are involved in a broad range of studies which are theoretical, practical and artistic. Students will study a series of foundation modules in child development, humanities, sciences, the arts and anthroposophy. They will develop knowledge and experience in teaching by studying the Steiner curriculum and undertaking three practical placements in Steiner schools or mainstream schools with a Steiner stream.
In a Steiner curriculum, the arts (painting, drawing and modelling, music, drama and movement) are not only stand-alone subjects, but are fully integrated across almost every area of the curriculum, for example, numeracy, literacy, geography, history etc.
Pathways to teaching
A Bachelor of Education or Masters of Teaching are the minimum qualification necessary to teach in any Australian school.
The Advanced Diploma of Rudolf Steiner Education provides an essential and critical pre-requisite pathway to a university Bachelor of Education.
Steiner schools around Australia have an urgent need for professionally trained Steiner teachers and highly regard this qualification as the basis for employment.
REQUIREMENTS
To be eligible to study at the Seminar, the international student:
be 18 years of age or older.
be proficient in the English language and have the equivalent of an IELTS score of 6.0 or higher with no band less than 5.5.

If you do not have high school qualifications, you will need to pass an online Literacy, Language and Numeracy test and achieve language and literacy scores of level 4 and numeracy skills of level 3 of the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF). You will be advised if you need to take this test.
