The Bachelor of Education (VET/Secondary Teaching) will have two distinctive outcomes:

• that graduates can be registered with the Victorian Institute of Teaching as qualified to teach in Victorian Secondary Schools in two curriculum areas. Music, Technology, Information Technology and Vocational Educational and Training are likely teaching fields;
• that the course is designed to open high demand areas of schooling, curriculum field, and geographical area to potential teachers without current university qualifications in a way which does not impose a demand for unpaid study and work. Students in the Bachelor of Education (VET/Secondary Teaching) will be able to teach in Victorian Schools under the Victorian Institute of Teaching's permission to teach provision.
