I have been previously corrected by a British english teacher and since then used 'can not' and now I've seen 'cannot' in a text book.

There is an answer here http://alexfiles.com/cannot.shtml but the absolutely grammatically correct answer is that you cannot write can and not with a space between them and be correct.

Well, it may be different in the UK, but in the US, the correct form is "cannot".

I always thought it was two words and that if you wanted it shorter you would use " can't " instead. That is what I believe for US usage.

"cannot" is correct. "can not" is not.
