Teachers in NSW are required to complete ongoing professional development that is both relevant and recognised.
If you’re searching for NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) recognised professional development, it’s important to choose training that not only contributes toward your PD requirements but also supports your own wellbeing and your work with students.
What does “NESA recognised provider” mean?
Choosing a course from a NESA recognised provider means you are completing a course through a provider that is listed on the NESA recognied providers list.
This means:
- The provider has completed verification checks
- Training aligns with the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers
- Courses are maintained in line with NESA guidelines
In practical terms, this ensures the professional development you complete is relevant, structured, and recognised within the education system.
