Guild Teachers College
The Guild Teachers College began as an extension of the teacher training activities of the Teachers Guild of New South Wales, which commenced in 1894. Although the Guild's teacher training activities were discontinued in 1909, it continued to provide evening courses for teachers.
In 1969 the Teachers Guild of New South Wales consolidated its commitment to teacher education by forming the Guild Teachers College, which opened on 20 July 1970. The College offered the Diploma of the Guild Teachers College, a three-year full-time course. In 1971 it introduced a postgraduate certificate in remedial education and in 1973 a course for teaching migrant English. In 1974 the College became a College of Advanced Education (CAE) but remained strongly focused on the teacher training requirements of the non-government schools. The College was incorporated on 24 March 1977 as the Guild Teachers College Limited.
On 1 January 1982, the College joined the Sydney College of Advanced Education (SCAE) as the Guild Centre. The Guild Centre operated as a free-standing, semi-autonomous body with the role of providing study programs and services relevant to the needs of non-government education to the various institutes of Sydney CAE.
Following the reorganisation of higher education in the late 1980s, SCAE was disbanded, and the Guild Centre joined the University with the former Sydney Institute of Education. On 1 January 1992 both became a part of the then Faculty of Education.
