1 School of Social Sciences Routes into Teaching Entry 2017

2 How to become a teacher How to become a teacher There are many routes to train to become a teacher. But all of them lead to a professional qualification in the age range you choose to teach. Early Years Teacher Status, known as EYTS, is a new qualification equivalent to QTS but for the 0 5 year age range. Qualified Teacher Status, known as QTS, is required to teach at Primary or Secondary level in a maintained school, or non-maintained special school in England. Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills, known as QTLS, is an ideal professional qualification to teach in the further education and postcompulsory education sector. Although there are no formal qualification requirements for FE teachers, QTLS has been recognised as equivalent to QTS and is highly regarded by employers. Your best path to gaining EYTS, QTS or QTLS and becoming a qualified teacher is dependent on the qualifications you currently hold. If you are studying A-levels, BTEC or similar subjects, you can gain your qualification through an undergraduate BA or BSc degree. If you already hold a relevant undergraduate degree, either from NTU or another institution you can take the postgraduate route with a School Direct Training Programme or PGCE. If you have extensive teaching experience, you can gain EYTS or QTS through an assessment of your practice. BA (Hons) Primary Education (QTS) PGCE Post-Compulsory Education and Training (QTLS) Certificate / Certificate in Education PGCE Secondary (QTS) Certificate in Education School Direct Training Programme (QTS) Certificate in Education Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills Status (QTLS) and Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS) QTS is the accreditation which enables you to teach in statemaintained and special schools in England and Wales. Successful completion of an Initial Teacher Training course will lead to QTS. You then need to undertake a three-term induction as a newly qualified teacher (NQT) before you become a fully-fledged teacher. QTLS is the licence required to practise in the Lifelong Learning Sector and has recently been recognised as equivalent to QTS allowing holders to work in secondary schools. EYTS is a new accreditation aimed at raising the status of the early years workforce. It is ideal, although not compulsory, for teachers in nurseries, children s centres, independent schools, academies and pre-schools. A-levels, BTEC or equivalents Another degree from NTU Degree from another university BA (Hons) Joint Honours course with Early Years Teacher Status Subject Knowledge Enhancement Courses.

The tests are designed to show that you have the basic level of literacy and numeracy needed to teach to a national standard. You will not be tested on your knowledge of Maths and English in the National Curriculum or how to teach it. The tests gauge your ability to understand basic terms such as using fractions, reading a pie chart, spelling and punctuation.

4 Post-compulsory teaching at NTU PGCE / ProfGCE / Cert Ed: Post-Compulsory Education and Training Becoming a teacher or lecturer in post-compulsory education PGCE / ProfGCE / Cert Ed: Post-Compulsory Education and Training This course is suitable for you if you have industry experience and wish to teach or lecture in a post-14 environment. What is the post-compulsory education sector? This covers a wide range of educational environments including community learning and development; further education; higher education; libraries, archives and information services; and work-based learning. In basic terms it covers everything which isn t in schools, so adult education courses, college and university education, company training schemes, careers guidance, rehabilitation in prisons, youth centres and much more. What do you teach? Anything and everything, from basic skills in literacy and numeracy, to technical training courses. Subjects our students have studied include sociology, communication studies, beauty therapy and art and design. Some common roles people in the sector have are: higher education lecturer they facilitate learning and produce research in universities. further education lecturer an FE lecturer will give lectures and seminars in a college or equivalent. This could be anything from needlecraft to chemistry. They will also monitor and assess individuals work and provide additional support and guidance. careers adviser they provide information, advice and guidance to help people make realistic choices about education, training and work. youth worker a youth worker will support young people by promoting their personal, educational and social development. librarian they manage the day-to-day running of library services in a wide variety of public, academic and commercial settings. What qualification do you need? That depends on what role you want to do, and who you want to teach. Many roles have a specific qualification, such as the Diploma in Career Guidance, or the Certificate in Libraries, Archives and Information Services. To become an FE or HE lecturer you usually need a good UK honours degree, a teaching qualification and substantial experience in the area you want to teach. Fact file Application: Apply directly to the University. Entry requirements: PGCE / ProfGCE a good honours degree (minimum Third Class) in a degree relevant to the subject you wish to teach. Relevant work experience will strengthen your application.

APL (Accreditation for Prior Learning): APL may be considered for the Certificate in Education and Training or the Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector. DBS check: You will need to undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service check (formerly known as a Criminal Records Bureau, or CRB disclosure). Course length: One year full-time, two years, part-time. Campus: Clifton. Tell me more We equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary for the demanding role of teacher / lecturer. The course is endorsed within the national framework for the sector and constitutes the University s equivalent of the Diploma in Education and Training. This course leads to a teaching qualification in the sector, which can also be used to teach in schools. It meets the national professional standards, determined by the Education and Training Foundation (ETF) and comprises the teaching award required for Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills status (QTLS). QTLS is the licence required to practice in the Education and Training Sector and has recently been recognised as equivalent to QTS allowing holders to work in secondary schools. What will I study? This course is offered at two levels (leading to one of three awards). PGCE Postgraduate Certificate in Education You will join this level if you have a good honours degree. You will also be able to study for Masters-Level credits, giving you a head-start on gaining a postgraduate qualification. ProfGCE Professional Graduate Certificate in Education You will need a good honours degree for entry to this level. Cert Ed Certificate in Education If you have the equivalent to A-levels or have significant experience in your intended subject specialism, you will join the Cert Ed. The aims of the course are to prepare students to plan, implement and evaluate teaching and learning activities in the education and training sector and to help students to develop appropriate knowledge, skills and attitudes. It equips students with an ability to reflect upon and learn from their professional practice and build students confidence in their ability to perform their roles while creating a sound foundation for further professional and career development. The teaching experience in partner colleges / centres is central to the course. You will be supported throughout the experience by a mentor who specialises in your subject area, giving you the confidence to take your industry experience into the classroom. All students follow a course of study and research which covers an introduction to post-14 education and training inclusive practice; enterprise and quality; principles of learning and the characteristics of the post-14 learner; planning for learning and methods of teaching and assessment. Fully integrated into this course is a structured and supervised practical teaching component in one of our partner institutions. The course consists of four modules: Learning and Teaching: in Post-Compulsory Education and Training Learning and Teaching: the Professional Teacher Learning and Teaching: the Subject Specialist and Wider Context Independent Study: Post-Compulsory Education and Training. On the part-time pre-service programme, two modules are completed in Year One and two in Year Two. What will I teach? This course equips you with the skills required to teach, but not subject-specific knowledge. Schools and colleges have a wide curriculum and as long as we can find you an appropriate placement, we can accept you to train for any subject you have the relevant experience to teach. However, three specialist study pathways are also available, with generous government bursaries to support your study if you meet the criteria: English and Literacy Mathematics and Numeracy Special and Inclusive Practice. You apply for the generic PGCE Post-Compulsory Education and Training course or one of the specialist pathways separately and can choose to specialise once you start the course if you have the appropriate subject background. How will I learn? Students are assessed on both coursework and their teaching practice. The focus of assignments is determined by students own practice and subject specialism. 28 How do I apply? More information on page

5 PGCE / ProfGCE / Cert Ed: Post-Compulsory Education and Training Will I have placements? We will only accept students if we believe we can provide a relevant placement opportunity, or if you have an appropriate agreed placement arranged prior to application.

6 Applying and find out more NTU is helping to build a teaching profession that reflects society s wide range of ethnic and social groups. It is important that young people and adults are educated and inspired by teachers that reflect the diversity of our communities. We welcome a whole range of qualifications, from people of all ages and backgrounds, and will consider your application on its individual merits. Applying Dates for applying are different for the type of course and the age ranges you wish to teach, and postgraduate courses fill up quickly, so you should start to think about your application at least a year before you wish to start your course. This will also give you plenty of time to attend open days for the institutions you are interested in and ask any questions you have. BA degree courses with QTS or Early Years Initial Teacher Training Most students apply through UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service), and you can do this either with the help of your school or college, or independently. Visit to make an application. PGCE and School Direct Training Programme You apply for these courses through the UCAS teacher training website at Do not apply to the school or NTU directly. With School Direct places, schools will recruit for subject areas they specialise in. Visit to find out more about places available and how to apply. PGCE / ProfGCE / Cert Ed: Post-Compulsory Education and Training You apply direct to the University for this course. Visit to find out more. Mature students At Nottingham Trent University we don t believe that age and experience should be a barrier to learning. The knowledge and skills mature students have built up are a valuable asset in the classroom and encourage applications from all sectors of the community. Talk to our Admissions Team about alternative qualifications we accept and Accreditation for Prior Learning (APL). International students Although all our courses are open to international students, they all involve extensive work-placements which some international students find difficult due to visa restrictions. You should check visa requirements and funding information carefully before applying. School observation School observation experience is essential and will enhance your application. It will also help you to confirm that teaching is the right career choice for you. As a guideline NTU request that you have at least two weeks experience in either a primary or secondary school or institution.
