Inspirational teachers really do change lives; influencing and shaping a learner’s education and subsequent career. A career in Teaching, Training and Assessing can be incredibly rewarding, offering various pathways in both the public and private sectors from teaching roles, in-house training, private tuition, consulting roles, and more.

Whether you are looking to enter the teaching profession as a first career, wish to use your skills from a previous profession to add value to the classroom, or aim to specialise in assessing and training - our courses provide the essential skills, knowledge, and confidence you need to excel.

At Preston College we offer the Certificate in Education (CertEd) and Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), as well as TAQA programmes. Regardless of your chosen programme, you can expect to be taught through practical workshops, specialist speakers and classroom-based activities that go hand-in-hand with teaching practice.

Our teaching courses are ideal for those looking to teach in the post-14 sector, with the PGCE offering a route into the teaching profession for those already holding a relevant undergraduate degree.
