UTS has a strong and ongoing commitment to the concepts of 'continuing professional education' and 'lifelong learning'. We have developed a comprehensive range of short courses and are continually adding new short courses to our portfolio. These short courses are 'stand-alone' rather than units within a formal degree, so they are ideally suited for:

·         Individuals wanting to acquire new skills with the aim of opening up new doors and broadening their career opportunities

·         Busy executives needing to keep pace with employer expectations and industry changes

·         Corporations that recognise the value of on-going staff education and development in maintaining a competitive advantage in today's constantly changing environment

For a list of our newest short course offerings or to find a short course that fits your needs, we invite you to search the UTS: Short Course website.

 

Why UTS Short Courses?

Today's workplace is continually being buffeted by major and complex influences that have, and will continue to cause dramatic change. UTS is acutely aware of and up-to-date with these changes thanks to our close partnerships with industry and private and government sectors. Our short courses are continually reviewed to ensure they are keeping pace with these changes, reflect the real world and provide the skills employers are demanding.

 

How Short is Short?

Duration of a short course can vary, ranging from one or two days, to several months. They may be held on weekdays, evenings or weekends.

 

Our Place or Yours?

Many organisations find it economical to have UTS run short courses in-house for groups of staff. Assessment and Workplace Training short courses are particularly popular with medium to large enterprises. In-house courses can be drawn from our 'off the shelf' training modules and developed in partnership with you to meet your organisation's specific needs and business goals.

 

Customised Short Courses

UTS also has extensive experience in customising short courses for corporate delivery, focusing on flexible-training solutions. We can work with you to identify the specific learning needs that are linked to business goals, then design and develop flexible learning and assessment strategies that meet the outcomes you specify.

 

Assessment and Articulation

Our strengths in work-based learning and adult education can benefit you and your organisation.

We are able to:

·         Develop appropriate assessment - linked to learning strategies - that validate the achievement of outcomes

·         Apply a wide range of UTS recognition processes for the learning gained in short courses

 

For some short courses, participants are offered competency-based assessment as part of the National Framework for Recognition of Training. They can obtain nationally recognised vocational qualifications through accessUTS Pty Limited.
