After training more than 1000 teachers in the past 17 1/2 years, CQU lecturer Pat Moran is heading west.

PhotoID:1270 Ms Moran, who is the CQU Rockhampton campus Bachelor of Learning Management's program coordinator, is moving to Emerald to head up the new full-time teaching degree.

"It's the first time the full three-year course will be offered in Emerald so its very exciting," she said.

"I was thrilled to death at the response - 51 first preferences of which we took 29 - so obviously there was a need. It's amazing how many people in the west really don't want to have to come to Rocky to go to uni." Ms Moran, who will take up the post of sub-dean for the Faculty of Education and Creative Arts in Emerald, said making it easier for people in the bush to access training had a knock-on effect for rural areas.

"A large proportion of the people who train up in the west prefer to stay in the west," she said.
