Further Teaching

Further education teachers teach a range of subjects to learners aged 16 and over, as well as work-related learning to students aged 14 to 16.

As a further education (FE) teacher, you'll teach a range of subjects in one of three main areas:

  • vocational training (including apprenticeships) - preparing students for work and making sure they have up-to-date skills

  • academic teaching - teaching a range of academic qualifications, mainly at GCSE and A-level

  • English and maths - teaching basic skills in areas such as numeracy, literacy and ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages).
