The Further Education & Skills sector (FES) offers diverse job opportunities. This course prepares you for a career where you can inspire individuals and change lives.
The PGCE prepares you to teach learners in inclusive learning environments from the 14-84 age range. The FES sector comprises further education colleges, sixth form colleges, adult education, prison education, charities and independent or work-based providers.
Typically you need
• A good degree or equivalent.
• Normally we require GCSE grade C, or Grade 4 in English Language and mathematics, or equivalent. Where applicants have achieved a GCSE grade 4 or above in English literature only we will look for further evidence of a breadth of achievement in English. We will consider applicants who are in the process of obtaining the relevant GCSEs.
• Experience of a Post-16 / Further Education teaching environment, that enables you to demonstrate awareness of your subject or specialist context in Post-16.
• The skills and commitment to benefit from higher education.
In-service students must have evidence that they are already working as a teacher or tutor, will teach a minimum of 60 hours in each year of the course, and that their employer will provide a specialist mentor to support them.
Candidates who are successful will demonstrate a sound understanding of teaching and how children learn, where possible within a school setting. We encourage all candidates to evidence their understanding by drawing on related examples or experiences, such as time spent in schools or other learning settings. Demonstrating an ability to make links between experience and knowledge, and their proposed career would be desirable.
