1. •    The program is directly aimed at students wanting to become teachers and their studies commence in Year 11.  QUTeach@Redcliffe is part of the students’ Senior Education & Training plan and contributes two advanced credits per semester towards their Queensland Certificate of Education.

3. •The QUTeach@Redcliffe program has been developed to provide extensive support for students to ensure those enrolled in the course have the best chance of succeeding.
   

1. •        QUTeach@Redcliffe students study at Redcliffe State High School (RSHS) after school, two days each week rather than travel off the peninsula once or twice a week as is the case with other early entry pathways that are on offer.
   

1. •      RSHS teachers are the tutors for the QUTeach@Redcliffe program and are supported by QUT Faculty of Education staff to deliver the course.
   

1. •  Instead of being targeted at individual students, QUTeach@Redcliffe has a class enrolment of 25 students.  As such, students have support from their peers as well as their teachers, unlike the traditional headstart models.

•       This group of students will complete three units of work over their senior phase of schooling.  These units are credited to the student and it takes off nearly a full semester’s work load once they commence university.  From our 2009 intake, students will study four semester units over Years 11 and 12.

•       Students attend a QUT campus for one day each semester to get a feel for university life.  This makes a great transition for students as they enter university knowing they have successfully completed three course units and understand how university operates.

•QUT has waived all tuition fees – students pay only for print materials.  Students have a QUT student card; they have access to all the facilities of QUT and receive all their lecture and tutorial notes online.

•Students who pass their university subjects are automatically guaranteed entry into a QUT Start degree course.

•If students decide they are not going to pursue teaching as a career, QUT have arranged a wide selection of alternative courses for students to transfer into when they have finished the QUTeach program.
