This qualification equips graduates with the knowledge and skills required to teach learners aged 16 years and above, across all areas of further education including secondary schools, sixth form colleges and adult learning centres.

Why choose this course?

Studying a PGCE in Further Education is ideal for those looking to further their education career and make a real difference to the lives of students. Our further PGCE has been designed to equip graduates with the knowledge, skills and understanding required to become successful teachers within further education, widening participation and helping adults develop new skills. 

The PGCE will offer you an opportunity to gain invaluable experience in teaching learners aged 16 years or over in further education settings, giving you the confidence and ability required for this important role.

This qualification is critical for developing teaching knowledge of both theory and practice within further education; such as face-to-face teaching, distance learning, e-learning, managing support staff and creating effective assessment strategies.

You will be supported by a dedicated personal tutor in building your professional identity, capable of providing learning experiences to students while remaining mindful of cultural and linguistic diversity and reflecting on your own performance.

Completing this course will enable you to pursue Qualified Teaching, Learning and Skills status (QTLS), equivalent to Qualified Teaching Status (QTS), supporting a range of careers in Lifelong Learning including Further and Adult Education lecturing.

What happens on the course?

This type of PGCE focuses primarily on teaching adults, including students over 16 years of age and those studying at a higher education level. The programme covers all aspects of teaching further learners and promotes an understanding of how adult learners can be supported through their learning journey. 

The course content for a PGCE in Further Education will provide trainee teachers with an introduction to educational theories such as behaviourism and constructivism, as well as methods for assessing student progress.

In addition to this, trainees will also learn about planning and delivering lessons for adults, exploring different approaches to meeting the needs of various learner groups.

How are you taught throughout the PGCE in Further Education?

We provide classroom-based experience and theoretical insight, which means that the course equips students with the necessary groundwork skills to become successful teachers.

The PGCE includes taught elements across a range of topics relevant to further education, as well as training sessions which allow student teachers to practise teaching under supervision.

These sessions cover theory and practical lessons plans, allowing student teachers to gain a deeper understanding of their field. In addition, support is also provided regarding assessment approaches and methods for engaging learners.

By combining these elements together, the University of Wolverhampton provides an effective learning environment that enables its student teachers to develop into well-rounded professionals with an understanding of contemporary educational approaches.
