Course Summary:
Derby College offers a range of high quality teacher training programmes in partnership with the University of Derby. Its teacher training provision was graded outstanding by a recent Ofsted inspection (December 2015).
In 2015, 33% of the College’s trainee teachers exited as outstanding, and this year 40% are expected to exit as outstanding. Employment data is very positive and most trainees secure relevant teaching jobs or enhance their teaching role in the sector. More than one third of our cohort (around 60 trainees per year) are teaching in the school sector.
Building on this success, Derby College and the University of Derby are working in partnership to offer a new and innovative route to full qualification.

Core modules include Introduction to Teaching, Developing Practical Teaching Skills, Theories of Teaching and Learning, Curriculum Design and Development, and Subject-specialist Pedagogies and Critical Reflective Practice.

A Level 2 Award in Prevent and Safeguarding strategies, with a whole unit devoted to anti-radicalisation
A Level 2 qualification in ICT to equip our future teachers with the skills for using ICT to enable learning
There is the possibility to negotiate studying for an additional subject-specialist pathway qualification in English (Teaching Literacy), Maths or SEND.
How will I be assessed?
The apprentice teacher will be assessed using varied methods, including assignments, collaborative presentations, poster presentations and reflections.
