BA (Hons) in Teaching, Learning & Mentoring Practice

Holy Cross University Centre provides a unique model of student support for those studying for a degree locally.

The course is an ideal way for individuals who support pupils within Primary and/or Secondary phases to gain a qualification and further their skills and career opportunities in education.

Attendance is one afternoon and evening per week (Tuesdays) - times to be arranged. Independent study, some e-learning, there is also a flexible online option.

This part-time course, in partnership with Edge Hill University, lasts 4 years.

Who is this course for?

The second route is for students who would like to be considered for progression to an Initial Teacher Training (ITT) programme for Primary School Teachers at level 6 to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
The third route is for students who would like to be considered for progression to an ITT programme for Secondary School Teachers specialising in ICT to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

What do I need to get onto the course?

Level II qualification in English and maths, e.g., GCSE grade C or above or Learn Direct Adult Literacy and Numeracy.

Experience in schools, preferably at least 2 days a week, paid or voluntary for at least 1 year.

What will I study?
