- Abstract
- This chapter describes the system of TVET teacher qualifications in Australia. A brief overview of the TVET system (known in Australia as VET, rather than TVET) is followed by a description of the VET teaching workforce, which is predominantly made up of mature people with significant prior industry experience. The chapter explains the current pedagogical qualifications available, which comprise two qualifications offered within the VET sector, at lower levels, and a small number of university-level qualifications. The content of qualifications at each of these levels is described. The chapter explains that the qualification levels of VET teachers have dropped considerably since the year 2000, such that only 10% of Australian VET teachers now have pedagogical qualifications at university level. The challenges created by such a situation are described, together with possible explanations of how this has come about. Implications for other countries are drawn out. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
