Certificate in Education (Lifelong Learning)

These courses are an award of the University of Huddersfield and can be studied at either Selby College or Wakefield College.

The Certificate in Education (Lifelong Learning), Professional Graduate Certificate in Education (Lifelong Learning) and Post-Graduate Certificate in Education are professional qualifications for people teaching in further education colleges, adult education and a wide range of other training and educational settings in the lifelong learning sector.

If you are currently teaching young people or adults these courses help you to develop your teaching skills, reflect on current ideas about education and training, and to explore creatively the professional opportunities open to you.

Most of the course is focused on practical teaching. You will gain experience of learning and teaching alongside other professionals, with support from tutors, as a vehicle for your development.

Practical experience allows you to gain competence in planning teaching and learning, and in working with learners both in formal classrooms and in student-centred learning situations.

During the course you undertake project work, such as developing new course materials.

Academic work includes critically examining creativity in teaching, quality assurance and professional issues.

Modules allow you to explore particular areas of interest and you will also be expected to complete a subject specialist module, requiring some attendance at the University in Year 2. You will be informed of the exact dates during Year 1.
