Are you looking for a nationally recognised postgraduate teaching qualification? Do you want a work-based route into teaching at a cutting-edge sixth form college where you can dive deep into your subject? How about an alternative to a traditional full-time university course that offers a postgraduate-level qualification, no tuition fees, and the opportunity to earn while you learn?

Learn, teach, get qualified, and get paid all at the same time.

Oldham Sixth Form College is the place for you. We are a student-focused digital skills department offering A Levels in Computer Science, a range of IT qualifications, and Digital T Levels. Our students are at the heart of what we do, and we push them to have the highest aspirations. With state-of-the-art facilities and ambitious learners aged 16-18, our department is looking for talented individuals who have graduated from digital degrees and want to put their skills to use for future generations. We offer an environment in which you can hone your skills, be free and creative in your teaching approach and learn best practice from an incredibly talented and supportive team. You can become the teacher you want to be!

Starting as soon as September, you could be on a Computer Science Teacher Training Course, enjoying all the great perks of teaching in an innovative subject area. Our enrichment program allows you to share your passions and hobbies, and our department is committed to investing in staff development and growth. Plus, you still get the college holidays!

At Oldham Sixth Form College, we have a great team ready to work with graduates across the North West, offering a fully supported and tailored teacher training program that suits you. Our program involves a 2-year part-time PGCE, following which you can develop your skills further as you work towards your Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) status - all of which is fee-free AND salaried. You will be given time off work to enable you to complete this qualification.

You may also be eligible for up to £6000 additional payment through the levelling up premium.

By applying the logical and technical skills you've gained from your degree, you can learn on-the-job with our experienced college tutors, all while being at the forefront changing the way the younger generation thinks about and uses technology.
