To truly thrive in your role within a Catholic school, you’ll need to gain an understanding of the Gospel as it is transmitted through the Catholic Church.
That’s where we come in — the Catholic Institute of Western Australia offers a range of pathways to accreditation, so you can get the most out of your important work with Catholic school students.

"I now have the ability and confidence to teach Religious Education in Catholic schools.
The material and topics covered throughout the Catholic Education units were motivating, engaging, well presented, and practical.”

Don’t get caught out!
It’s true, staff working in Catholic education, whether teachers or leaders, must have the relevant accreditation.
We often hear stories of people — particularly recent education graduates — who have been caught off-guard about the correct qualifications for working in a Catholic school, and we’d hate for that to happen to you. If you’re unsure about the best way to become qualified, simply get in touch. We’d be happy to direct you to the right pathway.
