Course Description

Share your love of learning. Use your specialist subject knowledge every day. Help people discover new interests and careers.

This PCET course is for people who are already working as teachers or trainers and want to achieve the sector qualification for teaching in post-16 settings.

Further education institutions need teachers with specialist subject knowledge who can teach people who want to explore subjects they weren’t offered in school. If you have a degree from a range of subjects including non-curriculum areas such as psychology, law or dance, you could be a teacher in post-16 education.
