Education and Training

Stanmore College offers this Level 4 NCFE Certificate in Education and Training for adults who want to deepen how they approach teaching. It examines what a teacher is responsible for and how to make lessons work for every learner, so it fits current teachers, newcomers and people weighing up a move into further education and skills. Students learn to plan sessions, assess progress, choose and use resources sensibly and respond to the different needs of individuals. Optional units let each learner steer the course towards their own setting. The qualification includes supervised teaching practice, part of which is formally observed. Finishing it gives practical classroom skills and strengthens job prospects. Learners can then move on to the Level 5 Diploma in Teaching, or go directly into employment. It runs part time over one year at the main Stanmore site.
