What Our Students Say
I had a fantastic experience with the course at Bay Education Centre. The teachers were incredibly supportive, always ready to help when needed, and made sure I stayed on track. The workload was manageable, and I was able to balance my full-time job with my studies, which was a huge plus. The value of the course was excellent, and it truly supported my goals.
Thanks to this course, I was able to progress to university for a top-up year, and shortly after graduating, I landed a teaching job abroad in Kuwait, which was my ultimate goal from the start. Without Bay Education Centre's support, this wouldn't have been possible. I'm so grateful for the experience and the opportunities it opened up for me

I really enjoyed my time at Bay Education Centre, and I’d be happy to share my experience.
Studying at Bay Education Centre was a great experience. The course was well-structured, and the support from my tutors made learning enjoyable and easier to understand. Their encouragement helped me build confidence and do well in my studies.
Since completing the course, I went on to do my professional practice at Newman University. Now, having earned my degree, I am excited to be starting my PGCE in Primary Education this year. The skills and support I received from Bay Education Centre played a key role in helping me reach this stage, and I am truly grateful for that.

Choosing Bay Education Centre to pursue my Level 4 and 5 Diploma in Education and Training (DET) was one of the best decisions I've ever made Alhamdulilaah. This program was a fantastic alternative to the traditional university route, allowing me to avoid interest-based tuition fees and complete my studies in a shorter timeframe.
The credits I earned at Bay Education Centre enabled me to top up to a full Bachelor's degree at university, ultimately graduating with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). I am now thrilled to have started my Early Career Teacher year (ECT1) and can confidently recommend Bay Education to anyone looking to become a fully qualified teacher.
The lecturers were incredibly kind and understanding, providing the support and guidance needed to excel. Additionally, the affordability of the program made it accessible without compromising on quality. If you're looking for a cost-effective, efficient, and supportive pathway to a teaching career, Bay Education Centre is the place to be Allaahuma baarik!”

My experience on the course:
The Level 4&5 Education and Training course worked really well for me, especially since it was part-time. It was flexible enough to fit around my full-time job, and I was able to keep up with my assignments without feeling overwhelmed. I also really appreciated that I could access lessons I missed, which made it easy to stay on track.
How studying with you supported my learning and goals:
The course gave me the support I needed to meet my goals. The way the course was designed was straightforward and precise, which made it easy to follow and understand. It really prepared me for university life. The resources were always available, and there was nearly always someone around to help if I had any questions.
What I have gone on to do since completing the course:
Since finishing the course, I’ve moved forward with my studies and was excited to be accepted onto the 3rd-year Top-Up Course for Early Years Education at CU Coventry University. The knowledge and confidence I gained from the course have definitely helped me as I continue my studies and work towards my career goals in early years education. Additionally, the affordable cost as well as the course leader being extremely understanding, the course allowed me to attend university without having to take on any interest, as I only needed to save for the top up year.

My journey with Bay Education's Level 4 and 5 DET courses was nothing short of transformative. From the very beginning, the courses provided me with an in-depth understanding of the essential principles of teaching, learning, and assessment. Under the guidance of my instructor, Latifa, I was able to gain a wealth of knowledge that I could immediately apply to real-world teaching scenarios. Her expertise, supportive approach, and passion for education made the entire learning experience even more impactful.
Latifa’s teaching methods were not only thorough but also incredibly engaging. She created an environment where I felt comfortable to ask questions and explore new ideas, which made the challenging aspects of the course much more manageable. Her insights and real-life examples helped me connect theoretical concepts to practical classroom strategies, which proved invaluable as I moved forward in my career.
Upon completing the Level 4 and 5 DET, I felt fully equipped to pursue my degree in education at university. Thanks to the solid foundation Bay Education provided, I was able to excel in my academic studies and graduate with confidence. The knowledge gained during my DET training served as a bridge between theory and practice, enabling me to navigate my university coursework with ease.
Now, with three years of teaching experience, I can honestly say that the DET qualification was a turning point in my career. The skills and confidence I developed during my time at Bay Education under Latifa’s mentorship continue to shape my teaching practice every day. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to learn from such an experienced and dedicated instructor, and I feel fortunate to have started my journey with such a solid educational foundation.
