Further Education and Skills University of Portsmouth

Overview

Throughout the Certificate in Further Education and Skills (CertEd) course from University of Portsmouth 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. You'll also develop subject specific knowledge by working closely with course teachers and work-based subject mentors.

If you're not yet working or teaching in further education, you can study this course full-time at the University or online by distance learning. If you do already have a role in further education, you can study part-time by distance learning or at one of our partner colleges, alongside your job.

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.
