You will need to have at least 50 hours of teaching per year of the course. You will also need a GCSE in English and mathematics at grade C or above, or equivalent (recognised Level 2 qualification) and a clear current DBS certificate. You need to apply through the University of Portsmouth and all shortlisted applicants are subject to interview at Eastleigh College.
The course units are:
Year 1 - Planning, Assessing & Evaluating and Learning Programmes; Theories & Principles for Planning & Enabling Learning in a Specialist Subject area.

Year 2 - Professional Practice, Curriculum Design in a Specialist Subject Area. You will investigate education policy in an area relevant to your own work.

The course is assessed by written work, oral presentation, observation of teaching and a teaching practice file. You will develop the skills required to be a reflective teacher in post 16 education and training.
