An award of the University of Huddersfield and taught at Bury College University Centre, this is a teacher training course for graduates who wish to teach in the lifelong learning (post 14) sector of education.

Quality
This course prepares you for a teaching career in the post compulsory sector. It is a requirement that all new FE teachers must complete a teacher training qualification as the first step in obtaining QTLS (Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills). The course does not lead to Qualified Teacher status (QTS) to teach in schools. However, since April 2012 those with QTLS are allowed to teach in schools on the same basis as those with QTS for 14+ students.
