A career as a secondary school teacher offers you the chance to teach a subject you love and to engage and encourage pupils in learning for their future. Our secondary teaching design and technology course with QTS is one of the few teacher training courses that provides modules in all areas of design and technology; as such, employability rates for our graduates are very high.

You’ll spend a significant part of this secondary teacher training course in two secondary schools, where you’ll gain practical experience of teaching design and technology. You’ll study workshop skills, including woods, metal, plastics, 3D printing and routing, plus advanced skills in food, textiles and materials. You’ll also study product design, computer-based design, including CAD/CAM, computer-aided learning, and education studies. As part of your secondary initial teacher training, you will also be offered optional accreditation in Health and Safety, Health and Hygiene Level 2, and relevant school-based ICT packages.
