Course summary

Overview

If you are interested in teaching a diverse range of students in the post-16 sector, this full time, pre-service PGCE programme equips you with the knowledge and practical skills you need to teach your subject specialism in the following education settings:

  • Sixth Form Colleges
  • Further Education Colleges
  • Adult and Community Learning
  • Prison and Young Offender Education

The programme will help you to develop the professional skills needed to teach in the post-16 sector and provide you with an enhanced understanding of the qualifications taught in the sector such as GCSEs, A’ Levels and vocational qualifications as well as adult literacy and numeracy and Access to HE programmes.

You could be eligible for the highest range of tax-free training bursaries.

In addition to developing your professional skills, you will be able to demonstrate a secure understanding of your subject specialism (‘subject-ness’) and the academic and/or vocational contexts in which it is taught. Through research-informed, socially just and inclusive pedagogy, you will also develop an enhanced understanding of what effective teaching looks in the education sector you train in (‘sector-ness’).

Many of our trainees go on to gain employment with the college or learning provider they trained with. As our UEL alumni have progressed in their teaching career, many have also taken on a mentoring roles for our PGCE trainees.
