Begin with short courses introducing you to the different ways in which adults learn. This can lead to teacher training courses (level 3 to 7) giving you the skills to work as a teacher, tutor or lecturer in adult learning. Our BA (Hons) Education and Professional Development course enables people who already hold a level 5 teaching qualification to achieve a degree. You can also view our level 5 to 7 courses here.
My learning journey started at Northern College and yesterday I graduated with a Bachelors Hons degree in Social Work.
Everyone I’ve met has been great, from the teaching staff to cleaning staff, all really friendly and welcoming. The gardens and grounds are amazing. I’m so glad to be able to study here.
Two years ago, I first went to Northern College for the first time to do a self confidence course. Approximately eight courses later including counselling and several people skills courses I am now working in a homeless hostel supporting the vulnerable and encouraging them to attend coursers at Northern College.
