This secondary teacher training course leads to qualified teacher status (QTS). It equips you to teach design and technology with a focus on textiles in secondary schools.

On the course you
• enhance your subject knowledge, understanding and skills

• gain knowledge about schools and the education system
• apply your skills and knowledge on school placements

We help you develop the skills you need to be a successful teacher of pupils of all abilities. By studying with us you build your enthusiasm, confidence, knowledge and ability to teach textiles.

You also gain self-evaluation skills by completing a career preparation profile. This provides evidence that you meet the standards for personal development.

School placements are central to the course. You complete teaching placements in two 11–16 or 11–18 schools. This enables you to experience the progression from Key Stage 3 to 5.

A University-trained mentor supports you when on placement. Your course tutor also visits you to discuss your progress.

We have strong partnerships with secondary schools in the area and many of our students are offered teaching jobs in their placement schools.

We deliver the course in partnership with Dixons City Academy, Bradford, which is well resourced and has its own students in the 11–19 age range. You have access to facilities of the Academy and the University. This allows you to work in a lively and creative atmosphere on a range of designing and making activities and learn how to apply these in a secondary school setting.

Your placements are complemented by University based study that includes teaching sessions, seminars, group study, tutorials and assessment.

During the course you can choose to complete either the PGCE or the Professional Graduate Certificate in Education (ProfGCE). Both qualifications achieve QTS but the PGCE also gives you 60 masters level credits, which you can use towards a masters degree.

If you are studying for a PGCE you may be entitled to a tax-free bursary. For further information about financial support please see the funding pages on the Department for Education Teaching Agency (DfE) website.

School Direct
Places on this course are provided through the School Direct route, in partnership with our lead schools in the Sheffield, Rotherham and Leeds/Wakefield area. Studying for your PGCE via this route has the benefit of allowing you to build a relationship with particular school, and study with the intention that you will be employed by them or another school in the partnership once you are qualified. There is more information about School Direct on our website or through the Department for Education Teaching Agency
