He also gained his City and Guilds Sheet Metal Worker's certificate, and his C&G Teachers Certificate in Metalwork and Woodwork, although where and when is not recorded.

His first teaching post was at Whickham View Secondary Modern, in Newcastle, which he left in 1958. He joined the staff of the South Shields Grammar Technical School for Boys in 1961, where he remained until his retirement in 1984.

Mr McGlasham died in November, 1997.
