Garnett College

Garnett College

Garnett College was a higher education college in London specialising in further and higher education lecturer training, offering training for lecturers in further and higher education colleges. Its main focus was on teaching towards post-graduate qualifications awarded by the Council for National Academic Awards (CNAA). Students had to be at least 25 years old and be qualified in their teaching subject.

History

Garnett College was the United Kingdom's only dedicated lecturer-training college (as distinct from teacher-training college). It was opened in 1946 and took the name Garnett College in 1953. It moved from north London to Roehampton in southwest London in 1963 where it occupied three sites (two teaching sites, Downshire House, Manresa House and a hall of residence, Mount Clare House). In 1986 it merged with Thames Polytechnic (later the University of Greenwich) and the students were moved to a site in Avery Hill.

It offered undergraduate and postgraduate courses and was the main centre for training lecturers working in teacher- training colleges (then known as Colleges of Higher Education) including its own staff.

There were three other centres in England also specialising in training further education lecturers, in Bolton, Huddersfield and Wolverhampton, all now universities. In addition, four universities which offered secondary school teacher training also offered further education teacher training, including the Universities of Manchester, Keele and Leicester, as well as University College Cardiff (now the University of Cardiff). In Northern Ireland similar courses were offered by Londonderry Technical College and in Scotland only part-time lecturer training courses were offered, at Glasgow's Jordanhill College.
