what do you need to train

and I apologise for not mentioning, that you can train alongside actually teaching. If the college wants you, they will pay for you to do your training. You need to do a 2 year course, and also the assessors qualifications so that you can assess to NVQ 3, this is a short course, and again, the college should pay for you to do this.

I started teaching in 1997, so hopefully won't have to re-do any training, but wouldn't be surprised if I get told in another year or 2 that I am a dinosaur and have to start from scratch again. Once this happens, I think I show bow out from teaching as a principle. Don't see why I should re-do a course that I have already done.
