At Education For Industry Group, we believe your experience in your field is your biggest strength. Whether you're from buying, management, marketing or another sector, we can help you make the transition with confidence.

We offer full support, from Teaching Bootcamps to one-on-one mentoring, so you feel ready to step into the classroom.

Teaching Bootcamps

Our three-day Teaching Bootcamps give you a hands-on introduction to teaching. They're designed for professionals from all backgrounds, whether you've trained teams before or are completely new to teaching.

You'll learn about:

• The role of a teacher - What to expect and how to engage students.

• Legal responsibilities - What you need to know about compliance and industry regulations.

• Teaching methods and classroom management - How to plan and deliver engaging lessons.

• Key educational theories - Including Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Bloom's taxonomy.

These bootcamps bring together professionals from different industries, creating a collaborative space to share experiences. Attendees consistently rate them 4.5 out of 5 stars, with many leaving feeling far more confident.

Support Beyond Training

We don't just train you and leave you to figure things out on your own. Our ongoing support includes:

• 1:1 Coaching and mentoring - Personalised guidance to help you grow.

• Informal drop-ins - Quick classroom visits with instant feedback.

• Mentoring sessions - Help with lesson planning, questioning techniques and classroom management.

• Peer learning - Watch experienced teachers in action.

• Communities of practice - Weekly 30-minute group discussions on key topics, with other Group Leads and tutors.

"There's a lot of scope for personalised growth." - Judean Lowe, Learning, Teaching & Assessment Quality Manager

No Experience? No Problem!

We don't expect you to have teaching experience - we give you all the training you need. Your industry skills in leadership, communication and problem-solving already make you a great candidate. Teaching is just an extension of what you already do.

We create a supportive learning environment, where making mistakes is part of the journey.

"Often people come in with the mindset that teaching is just about standing at the front and delivering everything they know. But over time, they transform!" - Judean Lowe
