Cirencester College has an established background in the delivery of teacher training qualifications. We will be running the 2 year Level 5 Diploma in Teacher (Further Education and Skills), which starts in September 2024.
The Level 5 programmes are designed for individuals who wish to teach (or are teaching) in the post-compulsory education sector. The post-compulsory education sector includes colleges, school sixth forms, adult and community learning, workplaces and prisons.
You’ve heard of Teach First and PGCE courses at Uni but did you also know that:
- You can also learn to teach at Cirencester College.
- Alongside your placement, you may also be offered paid teaching
- 70% of our lecturers were recruited from our course. ‘Growing your own’ works for us.
- Where we have a lecturing vacancy we always offer the chance to ‘train on the job’
- After qualifying in a 6th Form College it is easy to convert to school teaching if that is your thing.
More details on the course can be found here.
Our course has been designed to emphasise the skills you need to thrive in teaching today. This includes behaviour management, best practices in post 16 teaching and learning and how to understand and use data effectively to improve student performance. Some of our best lecturers will teach you. Several staff who have come to us already qualified have said, ‘I wish I had covered that on my teacher training course’.
If you would like to start your teaching career teaching great students in a well-resourced and top performing College then think about Cirencester.
