"Masters of Teaching (Primary) is a practical, stimulating, online course. The course not only taught me how to be an effective teacher but has given me the opportunity to further my professional development in both government and non- government schools. The course was flexible enough that I could continue working as a Disability Support Worker while still studying full time.  I credit Wesley Institute for their support, assistance and efficiency  in helping me achieve my personal educational goals."

Asher Graieg

"For any creative students interested in teaching, I would definitely recommend Wesley Institute’s Graduate Diploma of Education. It’s great because correspondence enables you to keep practising, teaching and being creative while studying. You have to be very disciplined, but it allows you to achieve a great deal, and I thoroughly encourage it."

Caleb Dwyer

"The lecturers are very supportive, friendly, and always willing to help you out. Even through correspondence, access to teachers and information was fantastic. In sum, my time at Wesley Institute was rewarding, challenging and stretching. Academically, I’ve gained a lot of understanding into Educational practises and principles; I’ve also really developed my resource and research skills."

Magda Bassilious

"The Education course gave me the capacity to be a well equipped and organised teacher. The course was thorough and provided many interesting, practical recommendations, which I have applied in my current teaching position. -  The Christian worldview integration confirmed to me the necessity of Christian teachers in offering hope to all students by being an ambassador of Christ."

"I thoroughly enjoyed studying Education at Wesley Institute because of the course content and its clear structure. I now have the classroom skills, syllabus knowledge and professional understandings necessary to be an effective teacher in a diverse range of teaching contexts. Studying online provides flexibility in study, pushes you to take charge of your learning, and strengthens the research skills crucial to a teaching career. The integration of a Christian worldview within the course has been the highlight of studying at Wesley Institute, and has stirred and strengthened my faith! The course keeps improving and is highly intentional in its approach."

"Studying education with a Christian worldview helps me to look at the world differently, and also look at the way I teach and the way I’m a role model as a Christian. Currently I’m working in a primary school, and see myself progressing further in education, again with the godly focus. Wesley Institute has set me up well, it’s been great."

Wendy de Jong

"This is a course with a difference! Lecturers totally support students as they study through distance education. You can meet with colleagues, share ideas and be inspired to serve God as teachers. By the end of the course you will be absolutely raring to teach!"

Rev Kevin Blanch

I’ve absolutely loved the course. Coming from a church ministry position and going into teaching ministry, it has been tremendous in equipping me."

"Wesley is definitely a unique place. It aspires to transform lives and it certainly has changed mine. I can’t speak highly enough of it. I believe in its values and its vision and I would support anyone who wanted to go there. I’m grateful for the time I’ve had at Wesley."

Katrina Carter

"My time at Wesley Institute has been pretty amazing and I feel like I’ve been equipped to serve God through the arts in a professional, educated and faith filled way. I made really strong friendships with other students at the college and some of those friendships have seen me through the last few years. Doing the education course the past year has also been quite different, studying by correspondence, but really satisfying and now I’m actually working full time as a teacher, teaching dance and also creative arts. Wesley has definitely set me up for my career and also with friendships and faith for life."

Lisa O’Connell

“I did a Graduate Diploma in Primary Education and I guess I loved having a Godly perspective and Christian input. I am really thankful to have been able to do that. That’s what I want to work in. My heart is in sharing Jesus with kids. I think it really helped and equipped me to do that.”

Rachel Devenish

“I did the Graduate Diploma in Education for Primary. Something that I enjoyed was the fact that I did the theory and the practical at the same time. So you really got to integrate your theory into practice straight away. And I just loved being in the classroom and the opportunity that Wesley gave to be in the classroom nearly straight away with the course. So really, for me it solidified my passion to teach.”

Emily Hammann

“What I enjoyed about Wesley was doing all the practical work and just learning heaps about teaching. I really enjoyed the relationships and even though I was doing it by distance education we’ve all been able to keep in contact.”

Denielle Walsh

“It’s an awesome place to be able to be stretched, to grow in your understanding of who you are, your particular area of study and to explore it within a biblical framework. It’s just an awesome place to be!”
