Teaching & Education success stories
What’s great about T Levels is the opportunity to do more work placements and put the classroom theory into practice.
Eva Cowley, T Level in Education and Early Years
I’m excited to get where I want to be, and the College and tutors have prepared me with the right skills and tools to do so. If I can end up making a difference to even just one child, then it’s worth it.
Rob Hardman, Level 3 Supporting Teaching and Learning
The course covers everything to know about teaching, I found the workload easy to manage and adapt to alongside my placement.
Benn Whitehead, PGCE
The teaching from my tutors was fantastic. They made every lesson interesting and made the experience fun and enjoyable.
Miriam Markie, BA (Hons) Education
All lecturers are experienced professionals. They were able to deliver course content in an engaging way, applying their own experiences to the content of the lesson.
Lee Bowdler, BA (Hons) Education
My career goal is to work as a Media teacher in a further education college and my PGCE course at Middlesbrough College has given me all the skills I need to be able to do this.
