DET Post-Compulsory Education & Training (PCET)

The Diploma in Education and Training (DET) in Post-Compulsory Education is a well-established programme leading to a recognised qualification for the sector. The course is aimed at those wishing to teach in post-14 provision, 16+ and adult education. The scope and range of the teaching qualification is considerable and provides opportunities for teaching in colleges, schools, sixth form centres, adult education departments, vocational centres, training agencies and offender learning (prison education). This level of flexibility is a particular strength of the programme.

Students must undertake concurrently a minimum of 150 hours teaching practice with post-16 learners over the two years. These teaching hours can be on a voluntary basis.

All students register both with the college delivering the programme and BCU and therefore can access the learning resources available at both.

Sessions are evening class provision to enable support students having daytime commitments.

All applicants are required to possess either a Grade 4 or above in GCSE English and maths or a Level 2 Functional Skills qualification in English and maths. Candidates are expected to have a minimum of a Level 3 qualification in the subject they wish to teach.

All applicants must successfully pass an interview with one of the course teaching team.

You need to provide a current basic DBS to ensure you are eligible to work within the Education environment.

20 Hours of Work permit weekly for international students.
