Lifelong Learning

This part-time Postgraduate Certificate in Education prepares people to teach beyond the school system, in lifelong learning. It develops the knowledge and skills that teaching in this sector requires, alongside practical teaching experience. Successful completion provides a route to QTLS, the professional standard for lifelong learning teachers. Two pathways are available. The pre-service route suits people with no teaching experience, who must arrange a placement of teaching practice before starting. The in-service route is for those already teaching in a training or education setting beyond schools. The course is delivered at Stockport College, with teaching timetabled from 13:30 to 17:30. Graduates are prepared to teach in colleges, training providers and other lifelong learning settings, holding a recognised qualification for the sector.
