SPOTLIGHT ON TEACHING HIGHER FE ENTRY REQUIREMENT Since September 2013, there has been no requirement for formal qualifications to teach in furthereducation institutions. But having a good qualification under your belt will always help you to get on. You can train on the job - gaining a teaching qualification while you working - which takes around two years. Or you can train before you start, completing a one-year course in the subject you want to teach, which will include a supervised placement in a further education college.
