Summary
This is the qualification for anyone who has a full teaching role in the FE and Skills sector. It looks at theory and practice and is the initial teacher training qualification designed to meet the current Education & Training Foundation (ETF) standards. Year 2 of this (part-time) programme explores quality assurance & improvement activities and explores Course Leadership roles. We will be offering the course via 3 hour sessions on Wednesday evenings.

Qualification at Level 3 or above in the subject you intend to teach. Qualifications in English and maths at level 2. Current DBS check. Willingness to research and complete work in your own time. Please note this is an in-service programme, which means candidates must have sufficient depth & breadth of teaching practice to be able to undertake Units in Years 1 & 2, on enrolment.
