Certificate in Education/PGCE: Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector

An award of Teesside University delivered in partnership with Redcar & Cleveland College.

This is a course for teachers working in the lifelong learning sector, such as colleges of further education, adult and community centres.

The award is a generic programme for those wishing to teach in post- compulsory education settings. You will cover a wide range of topics including planning and assessment, learners, learning and tutoring, curriculum design and innovation plus work-based experience. The course is an in-service two year part time course.

The course has a substantial element of teaching practice, which is vital to your learning and development as a practitioner. In addition to this, you will be encouraged to develop your teaching skills through observations of experienced practitioners, use of simulations and/or training classes and by watching good practice video footage.

You are assessed by a combination of written assessments, reflective teaching journals and teaching portfolios, and by observations of your teaching practice.
