A one-year training course leading to the Diploma of Education.

School teachers in England are trained in one of the following ways:

1. at a university, where they first take a degree in some subject(s) and then a Postgraduate Diploma/Certificate in Education in the faculty/department of Education;

2. at a college of education, where they take either a four or three-year degree course leading to the Bachelor of Education, or a shorter, less academic course leading to the Teacher's Certificate. Both courses combine the study of subject(s) to be taught with teacher training;

3. at a college of higher education, where they take the Diploma in Higher Education, and then a teacher training course leading either to the Bachelor of Education or the Teacher's Certificate. Teachers with a degree are called graduate teachers (or simply graduates) and those with a Teacher's Certificate -certified teachers or non-graduate teachers (or non-graduates).

Teacher training, whether at a college of education, college of higher education or in the education faculty/department of a university, includes: lectures on educational history, theory, psychology, classes and seminars of teaching methods; teaching r practice.

the second term — the winter term — Jan 5 — Mar 25 (or later, depending on the date of Easter)

the third term — the summer term — Apr 15 (or later) — Jul20
