Summary

Our master's level Post Graduate Certificate in Education supports students and professionals to acquire and cultivate the essential skills to progress into or further their teaching career and practice. Within this programme, you'll develop the necessary pedagogical knowledge surrounding the theory and practice of teaching performance and creative arts alongside refining your creative identity as a teacher, equipping you fully to safely deliver and assess dance to the highest standards.

If you're already qualified and experienced in the performance and creative arts industries, then this course delivered by Shockout offers you the skills and knowledge needed to teach dance to people aged 14 and above in this demanding and ever-evolving sector. This PGCE (M) course is 120 credits at master's level (HE7), demonstrating your ability to work independently at a high level in the field of education. 90 credits at HE7 can be transferred to a full master's award, depending on the specialist master's pathway.

Shockout's teaching staff are qualified professional practitioners, and experts in the field of the performance and creative arts who are keen to make your time with them as stimulating and rewarding as possible and enjoy a well-deserved reputation for being approachable and interested in your progress.

Through a combination of traditional study and work-based learning, you'll explore the key theories and techniques of teaching, learning and assessment. We'll support you as you discover how to apply them in practice, how you can mould them to the teaching of dance and how they link to current research in education and dance education.

We'll guide you as you learn to plan lessons, deliver classes, assess your students and provide constructive feedback. Our expert specialist and supportive tutors will work to help you become a skilled, engaging and inclusive teacher with high standards of professionalism.

This course is suitable for pre-service Initial Teacher Education (ITE) trainee teachers – so you don't need prior teaching experience or current employment in education. If you're a new in-service trainee teacher employed in the further education sector, you can apply for this course as part of your continuous professional development (CPD).
