Further Education and Skills - ProfGradCertEd

Aimed at people who want to teach teenagers over fourteen and adult learners in colleges and similar skills providers, this professional graduate certificate develops understanding of learners, together with evidence-based theories of teaching and assessment, subject knowledge and subject-specific teaching methods. You choose a specialist area from a broad list covering fields such as business, childcare, construction, creative subjects, computing, engineering, health, hospitality, humanities, law, maths and public services, which lets you build expertise in what you will teach. Learning combines seminars and workshops with a college placement, spending two days weekly at college and three on placement, so theory is tried in practice and reflected on throughout. The qualification is accredited and studied full-time, so it suits those ready to commit to a demanding but practical route into teaching.
