Teacher Training and Internal Assessors courses

Here at Leeds City College we have a vibrant teacher education department offering Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programmes validated by The Open University. These include the Certificate in Education (Post-16 Education and Training) and Professional Graduate Certificate in Education (Post-16 Education and Training).

The generic Certificate in Education (Post-16 Education and Training) and Professional Graduate Certificate in Education (Post-16 Education and Training) programmes are also offered as subject specialist routes for those who wish to specialise in the teaching of Mathematics, English, or Specific Educational Needs.

In addition, the College offers a range of other programmes, including the Level 3 Award in Education and Training, the Level 3 Award in Teaching Mathematics and the Level 3 Award in Teaching English. Programmes are delivered in-house, in the community and by contract to individual employers; for example, West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service.

For those looking to study at Postgraduate level, the department offers a Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Practice in Higher Education for those who teach higher education with the range of contexts in which it is now delivered, including College Based Higher Education (CBHE) and in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and private providers. We also offer a Masters in Education Studies (subject to validation by The Open University).

For September 2019 the department will also be offering a Professional Graduate Certificate in Education (Secondary) (subject to validation by The Open University).

All of our tutors have extensive experience working in the fields of education, training and development and actively pursue research opportunities in the Education and Training and Higher Education sectors.
