Thinking about a career in teaching post-compulsory education or training?
If the answer is 'yes' the Certificate in Education/Professional Graduate Certificate in Education - run by the college in partnership with the University of Wolverhampton - is right for you!

The course has a mandatory teaching practice requirement which must be completed in a 'full' teaching role If you are not in paid employment, you will need to make your own arrangements for gaining suitable teaching practice in the post-compulsory education sector.
We have high success rates on this course and excellent feedback from our past students many of whom have gone on to take up posts as lecturers in sport, hairdressing, IT, horticulture, engineering and construction.
