The Early Childhood and Primary stream has a requirement of 70 to 80 days of Professional experience The Secondary stream has a requirement of 60 to 80 days of Professional experience.
Professional recognition The Master of Teaching has been accredited through the Teacher Registration Board of the Northern Territory.
