Factors to consider before choosing an education course

Before settling on any teaching combination, it is necessary for you to do a thorough background research and consultations. Some of the main considerations that you must consider include:

  • Cluster points requirements: Various universities have different cluster points requirements for the same course. Therefore, before settling on a university to join for the teaching course, check its minimum cluster requirements in the table below.
  • Subject requirements: Apart from cluster requirements, the education degree choices have different subject requirements. Check the latest subject requirements for Bachelor of Education Science and Arts Courses in the table below.
  • Ease of employment upon graduation: Some subject combinations are currently flooded. If you qualify for a teaching combination that is less flooded, then you should rather take it immediately.
  • Available Capacity: It is also important to know the course capacities per university. This will enable you make an informed decision on the university to join.
