For new teacher training, you can choose between:
- face-to-face courses: two full day trainer-led sessions and five prerequisite e-learning (total time 17-18 hours) or
- online courses: four 2.5 hour trainer-led Zoom sessions, with additional self-paced e-learning and forum between sessions, plus four prerequisite e-learning (total time 17-18 hours).
Upcoming face-to-face courses (onsite at the venue)
Face-to-face trainees attend two full days of interactive training, at a convenient inner-city Sydney or regional venue. Training is usually scheduled for two days in a row (mid-week or over a weekend), or two days over two consecutive weekends.
The next face-to-face courses are:
- 9.30am – 4.30pm Saturday & Sunday, 19 & 20 September at UTS, Broadway (10 minute walk from Central station transport hub)
- 9.30am – 4.30pm Fridays, 4 & 11 December at The Ethics Centre (8 minute walk from Town Hall train and Gadigal metro stations) *tentative.
Upcoming online courses (via Zoom)
Online trainees must commit to attend all four Zoom sessions for that group, usually at the same times every week for two or four consecutive weeks (details and dates are listed below). All Zoom sessions are interactive and are run ‘live’ by a Primary Ethics trainer. You will need to participate fully with your camera on. Trainees must also complete some self-paced e-learning and contribute to an online forum between Zoom sessions (these two activities combined take approximately one hour per session).
The next online courses are:
- 6.30pm – 9pm Tuesdays on 1, 8, 15 & 22 September 2026 [Group 450]
- 10.30am – 1pm Wednesdays & Fridays on 16, 18, 23 & 25 September 2026 [Group 449]
- 9.30am – 12noon Tuesdays & Thursdays on 27, 29 October, 3 & 5 November 2026 [Group 451] *tentative

*tentative, pending minimum numbers
Contact Danya Webb or Emily Zytaruk on training@primaryethics.com.au for more details, to change an enrolment or to be added to a waitlist if your preferred course is currently full. Make sure you’ve applied, had your interview, logged in, ‘clicked to launch’ your 2026 new ethics teacher training and completed the 4-5 prerequisite e-learning modules first.
If you are not planning to start teaching for quite some time, then we recommend waiting to book into a training course that completes 1-2 months of the date that you will likely start teaching ethics at your school. We want to set you up for success and this gives you the best chance to put your new skills into action while they are still fresh. If there is a longer delay between training and starting to teach, you may be required to complete an additional refresher module.
For 2027, there will be various training courses starting early January & February, ideal for new ethics teachers wishing to start teaching ethics when ethics lessons resumes around Week 3, late February / early March.
