I have two Level 5 Diplomas in Management & Leadership and Teaching (DTLLS).
I want to apply for PGCE ( 14-?) course.

How do I go about it?

Hi Tayelolu – Here is the link to the UK government website about eligibility to study a teacher training program in the UK explaining that you need a degree and GCSE level (or equivalent) Maths and English to be eligible to study a PGCE >

Good luck.

Hi Charlotte,

I'm looking forward to applying for PGCE MATH (SECONDARY LEVEL).
I have a degree in Accounting.
Will I be considered for this or I will be required to offer for a SKE (SUBJECT KNOWLEDGE ENHANCEMENT) course before placement.

Hi Nadia – Once you have a degree or equivalent you should be eligible to study a Primary or Secondary PGCE course as long as you also have the following GCSEs at grade 4 (C) or above, (or equivalent qualifications):
English
Maths
Science if you want to teach primary
The UK Gov website contains all the info you need on becoming a teacher:
