About

The Bachelor of Education in Senior Phase (SP) and Further Education and Training (FET) Teaching is a 4-year professional qualification (NQF 7) designed to provide initial education and training to those aspiring to become educators. Students specialise in both Senior and FET phases of teaching – making them more competitive in the labour market. They will be required to choose subjects as their teaching specialisations.
The programme includes a Work Integrated Learning (teaching practice) component which requires students to experience an authentic school setting in both Senior Phase and Further Education Training Phase.
