(Post Compulsory Education)

The Professional Graduate Certificate in Education (H) Post Compulsory Education is a two year course that is undertaken by teachers who are already working in the Lifelong Learning Sector.

Students normally attend taught sessions once a week at one of a number of Partner colleges across the West Midlands. The Partnership involves strong links between the partner colleges and the University. By undertaking this course, you will be joining a Community of Practice underpinned by a strong culture of teaching and learning and critical enquiry.

The course is designed to meet the Education and Training Foundation (ETF) Professional Standards and has at its heart a model of Critical Reflective Practice that facilitates an ongoing professional dialogue between student, mentor and tutor.

The course received a Grade 2: Good in the Ofsted Inspection March 2013.
