The Professional Development Pathways initiative provides staff with opportunities to begin postgraduate study by undertaking key Departmental professional development programs and completing an optional assessment task. Successful completion of each of these key programs provides credit equivalent to one-eighth of a Masters degree at any of the nine participating universities.
You can obtain credit towards up to 50% of your Masters degree through this intiative!
For many years, individuals have negotiated their own RPL (recognition for prior learning) with universities when enrolling in university programs. Through Professional Development Pathways, the RPL has already been negotiated between the Department and nine Queensland Universities.
This statewide approach is unique. The initiative is managed by the Department on behalf of the Queensland Education Recognition for Professional Learning (QERPL) Committee, comprising departmental and university representatives, which implements the framework for this initiative and meets regularly to review and revise the initiative.
Participants who successfully complete both the professional development program and the assessment task will receive a voucher for tertiary credit that will be recognised by any of the participating universities for one of their approved courses. The voucher remains active for up to 5 years after being issued.
