About the course

There’s a growing recognition that the UK needs more tradespeople. The government is investing in apprenticeships and work-based education, and vocational subjects are proving popular in schools and colleges. If you’re qualified, experienced and talented in a trade such as plumbing, bricklaying, hairdressing or beauty then a career sharing your skills with the next generation could be rewarding both personally and professionally. This is a pre-service Initial Teacher Education (ITE) course - you don’t need prior experience of teaching or current employment in education. Through a combination of traditional study and work-based learning, you’ll be able to explore the key theories and techniques of teaching, learning and assessment. We’ll support you as you discover how to apply them in practice, how you can mould them to the teaching of your trade and how they link into current research in education.
