Teacher Training
Do you want to enter the world of teaching but don't quite know how? At Askham Bryan we offer a number of part time Teacher Training courses so you can study for qualifications whilst you work.
Teacher Training (Lifelong Learning), CertEd in-service (University of Huddersfield) 2012-13
This course leads to a professional qualification if you are already teaching in Further Education colleges, adult education, Higher Education and a wide range of other training and educational settings outside the schools sector. It provides a route to Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) through the Institute of Learning if you are appropriately employed in the learning and skills sector. (Please note that this does not confer Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) for those working or intending to work in schools.)
