Likely questions that will be asked in interview for cert ed course

[daftpixie]

My friend has an interview thursday at a local college which is for a place on a teacher training certificate of education course to teach NVQ Beauty Therapy.

As a highly trained therapist she has been employed by same company for a number of years now and has not had any interview experience in this time, and is understandably nervous about what sort of questions she will asked.

For example, will it focus on her treatment techniques etc or more on her ability to teach? Also, any other tips for interview technique would be much appreciated, it is very very important to her that she gets a place and wants to make sure she is completley prepared.

do a search on google for interview questions there are loads of good sites,

the usual questions - strengths, weaknesses, what qualities would you bring, how would you deal with difficult students / situations, questions about time management, keeping calm, knowleges questions, teaching style, supporting students

I'd also suggest doing some homework on the college which should earn some brownie points

As the teacher training cert takes people from all walks of life doing various jobs the interview is more likely to concentrate on training skills. They are more likely to concentrate on why your friend wants to be a teacher. As long as your friend can demonstrate willingness, patience and good communcation skills, she'll be fine. My husband did the course and loved it! Good luck
