You will benefit from working with expert tutors who have many years of teaching and educational leadership experience. They will help build your knowledge and confidence, supporting you with your next steps into employment as a teacher. Many of our former teacher trainees have secured employment within the College having made such strong progress during their training year.

You will be supported by a teacher education tutor as well as a subject mentor. Smaller class sizes enable you to receive one-to-one support as you develop practical teaching skills as well as learning about new approaches to teaching and learning that the assignments explore.

What Will I study

You will study modules which make effective links between your professional practice and educational theory. These allow you to explore current educational issues such as planning effective and engaging lessons, classroom management and health and wellbeing. Most importantly you will have to show that you can be effective as an educational practitioner and you will be expected to demonstrate this through an appropriate professional teaching placement.
