I found the course to be extremely engaging and it has been of enormous benefit for my own practice. The Language and Literacy specialisation has provided invaluable insight into how people learn and how we can use this understanding to develop effective classroom programs.

I would definitely recommend this course for anyone involved in education. La Trobe’s online learning program was very well structured, and it provided the resources and support to enable me to effectively manage study and full-time work.

Anyone who mentions they are considering upskilling I am so quick to recommend La Trobe. The way the online course and modules were laid out made it an easy process to follow. The lecturers also come with a wealth of knowledge, I learnt so much through their insightful and constructive feedback.

The course has been a great experience. I was looking for a university where I could do my studies remotely, but still have access to high-quality lecturers. I also wanted a degree from a university that had a great reputation for producing knowledgeable professionals.
