Key course features Teaching in the post-compulsory sector has undergone a period of professionalisation in recent years, and this award is now the nationally-endorsed qualification for the sector. The quality of training you will receive is paramount to your effective continued development as professionals in the sector. This is reflected in the support and guidance you will receive throughout your period of training with tutors and mentors. The University has strong links with local further education colleges and training institutions in the region. A Welsh Government training bursary may be available if you are studying via the full-time route. Choosing either the part-time or full-time route means that you can choose a programme of study which fits around your other personal or professional commitments. Our Level 4 entry point enables you to gain a teaching qualification in your area of professional expertise without having a degree qualification.
