CSU Teacher Education Student: Professional Experience Sourcing Timeline

Important professional experience placement information for all teacher education students

Students must take early action to ensure a smooth professional experience sourcing process! Sourcing cannot commence until all mandatory compliance is completed. The earlier you enrol in EPT subjects and submit your InPlace application, the better your chances of securing your preferred placement. After compliance checks are completed, placement sourcing can take approximately 6-8 weeks during school terms.

Compliance requirements: Ensure you visit the WPL site and review the specific compliance requirements for your Course, so that you have completed all mandatory checks and professional learning before the session begins.

Compliance checks: Your application needs time to be reviewed for compliance with mandatory documentation requirements.
