How can I study to be an Art/Design teacher whilst currently in full time employment?

I want to change careers but need to know exactly what I need to do to become a teacher (as above). What qualifications are needed and can then be done as an evening course or home study? Thanks.How can I study to be an Art/Design teacher whilst currently in full time employment?
What Guru2 said but with this addition



If you want to teach in an FE college you can do the PGCE in post compulsory education n the evening but you would need to be teaching, either as a paid teacher or as a volunteer.How can I study to be an Art/Design teacher whilst currently in full time employment?
Assuming you're in the UK, you can't.



You can study for the required GCSEs (grade C+ in English and Maths minimum requirement) and A-levels in the evening (not as distance learning or online).



If you do not have a degree or equivalent qualification (which you must have to become a teacher) then you could follow the Open University courses online and by distance-learning.



Otherwise, and assuming you aleady have a degree, then you can either take the year-long PGCE course (full-time) or possibly take a SCITT or GTP course (full-time, but 'learning on the job').
