Lifelong Learning PGCE - Full Time

This full-time teacher training course prepares graduates to teach in the lifelong learning sector, which covers further education, adult and community learning, offender learning and training organisations. It suits people who want to start teaching and have no prior teaching hours. Study takes place at the college, combined with a teaching placement in settings such as colleges, work-based learning providers, and offender or community learning services. Placements build practical teaching skills across at least 250 hours, including 150 hours of direct teaching. This course is only offered on the pre-service pathway, so applicants should have no prior teaching experience. Graduates are prepared for teaching posts in further education and sixth form colleges, as well as adult education and informal education roles. The course suits graduates who want a career in the wider lifelong learning sector.
