Upon completion, graduates can register with the Teaching Council as Further Education teachers, assuming they satisfy the requirements outlined in Regulation 5 of the 2009 Teaching Council (Registration) Regulations.

In addition to coursework, you'll complete 100 hours of Practice Placement in actual Further or Adult education contexts, enabling you to implement module learnings in genuine teaching situations.
