Partnerships for post-16 education
We work with a number of FE colleges, sixth form colleges and private training organisations in the learning and skills sector. They provide our trainee teachers with valuable placement opportunities, and we also work with them to provide part-time courses for trainee teachers.
Want to offer a placement or the Cert-Ed course?
If you are based in the south-east and would like further details about offering placements, or if you are interested in offering a Cert-Ed course in your college, contact us at: soe-office@brighton.ac.uk.
Setting-based training for Further Education and Skills teachers
Full-time trainees enrolled on our year-long Further Education and Skills PGCE and ProfGCE courses must all spend a significant part of their course on placement in colleges or other training environments.
We provide mentor workshops and ongoing support to your staff throughout the placement. We view teacher training as a partnership and are keen to support staff in our partner colleges as much as possible.
Trainee teachers spend at least two days a week from September through to June at their placement, and in some circumstances the placement is extended to May. Initially trainees only observe classes, but they are expected to assist in teaching and then to lead classes as their training progresses.
