NSW Teachers: This Course Counts Towards Your PD Hours

This course was published after the August 2024 NESA changes and as a result, does not carry NESA accreditation. From now on, all professional development activities, whether previously accredited or not, now count towards your required PD hours.Rest assured, this course maintains the same high standards as all ClassCover Learn courses. While NESA is no longer accrediting new PD courses, the flexibility of the new framework means you can explore more topics that interest you and still meet your accreditation requirements. Learn more
