On this course – which is rated Good by Ofsted – you'll learn the most effective teaching techniques by spending time on teaching placements in real education settings and exploring teaching theory in lectures and seminars.

Wherever and however you study, you'll still do your teaching placements in person and be a student of the University of Portsmouth, so you’ll have access to all of our facilities and support.
After the course, you'll be able to take up teaching roles in further education colleges, sixth-form colleges and private training providers, or to top up your Certificate to a full Bachelor’s degree.
