At Derby College Group, our teachers bring more than just qualifications into the classroom, they bring real-world experience.

Many of our Construction Technical Excellence Centre (CTEC) tutors have worked extensively in the industry, giving them first-hand knowledge of the skills, standards and expectations employers are looking for today.

In these short videos, you’ll hear directly from our teaching team about their journey from industry into education, and how their experience shapes the way they teach.

From sharing practical insights and current techniques, to preparing students for the realities of the workplace, our tutors are passionate about developing the next generation of skilled professionals.

It’s this blend of industry expertise and teaching excellence that makes learning at CTEC different — and ensures our students are career-ready from day one.
