It is a regulatory requirement that all graduates from an initial teaching qualification must either pass the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Educators (LaNTITE) or meet the Australian First Nations language proficiency alternative.

ACU has processes in place to ensure that all students meet the regulatory requirements. You will need to (1) attempt LaNTITE within the first six months of an Education course , and (2) pass LaNTITE before the end of your first 12 months (before your second placement unit).

Please self-enrol in the Education LaNTITE Support site for up-to-date information about the LaNTITE requirement and links to support provided by ACU.

Please see the ACER website for information about the LaNTITE tests

LaNTITE Progression Requirements

There are two LaNTITE requirements that you must complete on time to avoid a delay in your course progression. These requirements cannot be waivered and if you do not complete them, your progress will be delayed as specific units will be unavailable to you.

This course includes an introductory observation unit, followed by a sequence of three Professional Experience Placement (PEP) units.

Professional Experience Placements provide you with the opportunity to integrate your learning with real-world experience of the work of teachers. Each of these units include (1) lectures and tutorials, and (2) a placement experience within a school and/or early learning service. These experiences are interrelated and you must complete them both within the same semester offering.  

To support your enrolment planning, the calendar of placement dates is published in October of the year prior. The PEP placement dates are available on the WIL site. You must confirm that you are available to attend placement during the listed dates prior to enrolling in a placement unit.

All guidelines and information related to the Professional Experience Program is available on the WIL site. You should familiarise yourself with all the information in this site prior to your first professional experience placement. 

 Your three placement units are:

• EDET595 Effective Teaching 1: Professional Practices (25 days)
• EDET695 Effective Teaching 2: Engaging Learners (25 days)
• EDET691 Effective Teaching 3: Teacher Inquiry and Evidence-based Practice (30 days)
