Essential Skills for Teacher Training NQ

What is special about this course?

The course combines two SQA units:

• Literature 1 
• NC Communication

Together, these two units are accepted by a number of colleges and universities as an equivalent qualification to Higher English. If you intend to use the qualification in this way, please check with the course leader for which you will be using it that this qualification is acceptable.

Entry requirements

Applicants will usually have achieved English SCQF Level 5. However, we will consider every application individually and applicants without previous qualifications will be given a diagnostic activity to assess suitability for the course.
