Our Professional Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) will give you the skills to become a teacher in Further Education colleges.

 

These programmes are for those who teach or intend to teach in further education colleges, sixth-form colleges, adult education centres, art colleges, healthcare, or community organisations, the public services and a wide range of commercial and voluntary organisations.

 

The programmes provide the skills needed for teaching and learning and classroom management and help trainees to explore the theory underpinning teaching practices.

 

Leaders’ ambitions are for their trainees to become innovative teachers and future leaders in the further education and training sector. They successfully recruit trainees who represent diverse communities and who act as role models for learners in a wide range of settings, including colleges and schools. (Ofsted 2023)

 

The programmes are offered in two modes of study: full-time attendance which will benefit those wishing to obtain a qualification before seeking employment and which incorporates a period of supervised teaching practice (pre-service); and the part-time mode aimed at teachers and trainers who are already employed (in service).
