Initial Teacher Training

"The part-time CertEd course at Bicton College has given me the opportunity to broaden my teaching potential while still being able to work fulltime"

• Bicton College has for many years successfully supported and trained teachers, instructors and assessors to develop their skills and gain formally recognised teaching and assessing qualifications.

  There are a range of courses that you can undertake through Bicton College which will lead you to gain a professional qualification for teaching, training and assessing in the post-16 ‘learning and sills’ sector.
  
  If you work in a college, in adult and community education, for a private training provider or in work-based training, or you simply wish to change career and develop new skills as a teacher or trainer, we have a range of courses for you to consider
