PGCE Postgraduate Certificate in Education

This programme offers current and aspiring education professionals, teaching within a range of educational contexts, a flexible route towards gaining a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). Please note that this course does not include qualified teacher status (QTS) or any other teaching qualifications, and it is delivered wholly online. The course is relevant to all subjects and students will have the opportunity to focus on improving their individual practice through critical reflection and developing an understanding of evidence-informed practice. This programme might appeal to home (English and Welsh) school teachers who have a BA with QTS (i.e. no postgraduate qualification because they became a teacher through an undergraduate route), overseas school teachers who have their own country's teaching qualification but would like a PGCE, teaching assistants (with an undergraduate degree) who want a postgraduate qualification, and existing teachers/teaching assistants with a BA or BSc who want a stepping-stone to a full Master's degree at a manageable pace.
