If you’re hoping to go into teaching within sixth forms or further education colleges, or you see yourself taking up a career in adult education or informal education roles, then our Pre-Service course could be ideal. It’s focused on training to teach within the lifelong learning (post-14) sector. You don’t need previous teaching experience, just an industry skill, an appropriate entry qualification and a passion for teaching and training others. If you’re already working as a teacher or trainer at a recognised training or educational establishment within the education and training sector and looking to progress your career, then our In-Service course will help you on your way. On both the Pre-Service and In-Service courses you’ll have the opportunity to develop the skills to play a full part in teaching and curriculum development. While you study you’ll focus on your particular subject specialist area, alongside general teaching in the lifelong learning sector. We know there’s no substitute for the classroom environment, so we’ll give you the opportunity to go on placement with one of our partnership institutions. Previous trainees have been placed in a range of institutions including colleges, work-based learning providers and in offender and community learning settings. You’ll complete at least 100 hours of teaching in total on placement as a Pre-Service trainee. On the In-Service course a significant amount of your learning happens in your place of work – allowing you to put theory into practice. The In-Service course is available at the University of Huddersfield and through The Education and Training Consortium at approximately 21 centres. Please visit consortium.hud.ac.uk for more information.

Your future
Upon successful completion of this course, you’ll be eligible to proceed to gain Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) status, following a process of professional formation through the Society for Education and Training.
