Professional Experience
Professional experience and voluntary community engagement is incredibly important to your professional development.
Not only does it round out your education, professional experience also gives you the opportunity to start building a name in your chosen field. As many students have learned, a good reputation can be a springboard to a job in your chosen industry.
ACPE provides comprehensive and innovative professional experience programs across all degrees thanks to partnerships between the College and industry.
Through focused and relevant professional placements you will find plenty of opportunities at ACPE to prove your competence as a full time professional.
For example, if you are doing a Bachelor of Dance Education degree you will be placed in primary schools for your first professional experience. This will help develop your knowledge and skills of teaching by gaining a quality experience educating primary school aged children in dance and physical education.
As a Business and Coaching student you are gradually exposed to the profession through seminars and workplace visits followed by an in depth professional placement with a business or sports organisation.
As a Fitness student you will develop comprehensive skills through the wide variety of opportunities offered throughout the fitness industry or in coordination with our industry partner NSW TAFE.
As a Health and Movement student you will have the opportunity to access a voluntary community engagement program to allow you to gain real world experience. If you choose to continue your studies with a Graduate Diploma of Education you will be required to participate in a school-based professional experience placement.
Whatever your career choice, this program of placements will give you the skills and confidence to hit the ground running.
