practical learning
For full time students, placements are provided at Truro and Penwith College and therefore students are given the opportunity to work in colleges that are graded as “outstanding” by Ofsted. Our centre within the partnership is fortunate in having levels from pre-GCSE to University Degree programmes available for practice according to the suitability of the trainee.
employability
The programme encourages practice across a range of levels which endorse opportunities for future employment. Graduates are recognised as being trained at a grade 1 college and therefore face a better range of employment opportunities. Teaching opportunities are gained both in county and out of county.
student support
You will be studying and practicing in a supportive teaching environment with excellent mentors who are passionate about teaching and want to share that with you. Recently Ofsted inspected Callywith College, where graduates from the programme have been employed, reported that teachers have a passion for the subjects they teach.

“The staff were amazing, we got 1:1 and feedback from tutors. They spend time with you, really helping to improve your grades, and they get to know you. In a years’ time I will be a qualified primary school teacher. My advice would be to just go for it!”
