Our courses include both practical and theoretical elements designed to help you learn the transferable skills you need for your chosen career.
Become a qualified teacher.
Our courses are taught 100% at Chesterfield College. As a student of both institutes, you will benefit from access to both libraries and online resources. You will also receive support on your QTLS (Qualified Teaching and Learning Status) application, which provides you with the equivalent of Qualified Teacher Status, enabling you to teach secondary school students.
This course is for anyone who is new to teaching, or who is already working as a teacher and wants to become qualified.
Validated by Sheffield Hallam University, you would become a student of the university and Chesterfield College and benefit from lecturers possessing a breadth and depth of knowledge and experiences in post-16 teaching and learning.
I’ve absolutely loved my PGCE experience. It’s taught me so many new skills and brought out confidence and abilities I didn’t even know I had. I was genuinely nervous about taking the leap into teaching and making a career change, but it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made. My advice to anyone thinking about doing it would be simple: just go for it!”
