Courses Available
Our courses can also be taken as part of an Apprenticeship Programme – if you are on a Teaching Apprenticeship already, your employer will encourage you to gain a Level 4 or 5 qualification.
We also offer bespoke tailored courses to organisations including local authorities, local businesses and the NHS, who may need to train their staff in fire safety, inductions, risk assessments or safeguarding for example.

“This course helped me learn about how to plan for and deliver inclusive teaching and learning sessions. It also taught me about considering learner needs, different learning styles and using a variety of appropriate assessment methods. Furthermore, I learnt about the roles and responsibilities in education and training, and relevant legislation and codes of practice.”
