Take your next step towards a career in Education

If you want to get into teaching, we can help. We have teachers with experience across the whole educational spectrum, who all share a passion and enthusiasm for the industry.

Learn to teach every age group

From preparing to work in schools and support early years, to training on our specialist post 16 training courses; we offer plenty of courses to help you work with any age group.

Our courses can give you the toolkit of teaching and learning strategies you need to embark on a successful career in teaching or training. You’ll leave with a fundamental understanding of the roles and responsibilities of a teacher/trainer; an understanding of the relevant legislation and how to meet the needs of your learners. Alongside essential theory, you will learn how to sequence, plan, and deliver sessions, using appropriate resources and teaching methods.

Explore a wide arena of rich and diverse teaching contexts to support your qualification.

Through a mix of theory and practice, our Teacher & Assessor Training courses are interactive and lively, offering a wide range of activities and resources to support your understanding of teaching and learning.

You will get involved in pair and group work, discovery learning, trying out new activities and exploring theories through practical tasks that bring the subject to life; all of which can be transferred to the classroom. You will also carry out research and participate in group tasks where results are presented to your peers to develop presentation skills.

There are also opportunities to undertake either a short microteach in a subject of your own choice or teaching practice, depending on the programme. Throughout your course, you will receive carefully tailored support and mentoring designed to help you to improve as a practitioner.
