The Division of Professional Learning (DPL) works with a wealth of academic specialists who develop our programs and present on a wide variety of education and social work areas. Many courses we offer are eligible for accreditation towards postgraduate studies in the Faculty of Education and Social Work, providing a flexible pathway to higher qualifications.
