Teaching Practice at Edinburgh College provides an excellent precursor to TQFE and is a great interim teaching qualification for staff waiting to be put through TQFE or who do not have the prerequisites for TQFE. In addition, it is appropriate for anyone who would benefit from a more practical skills-focused course of study.
