Postgraduate Certificate in Education - PGCE
Summary
Compared with Core PGCE teacher trainees, you will benefit from additional time in school before the PGCE starts and follow a modified version of the course. Throughout, you will focus on the 11 to 16, 11 to 18, or 14 to 19 age ranges to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), learning to teach the National Curriculum and related national strategies surrounding GCSE, AS and A2-level study.
The majority of the course focuses upon practical training in teaching and learning-related skills. You will enjoy extended periods of school experience, which will provide opportunities to work in a primary setting and to teach in at least two different secondary schools. In total, 25 weeks of your PGCE will be spent experiencing and working in different types of school.
This practical training is underpinned by the development of your knowledge and understanding of educational theories, ideas and concepts, including current issues and developments.
We work with numerous schools in Greater Manchester to offer the School Direct route into teaching.
School Direct allows schools to recruit and select their own trainees, with the expectation that they will go on to work within the school, or group of schools, in which they were trained (although there is no guarantee of employment).
School Direct closely follows the PGCE course structure but on a modified timetable including increased contact with the School Direct school.
Trainees who complete their course will be recommended for the qualification of PGCE School Direct and recommended for qualified teacher status (QTS).
Level | RQF Level 7 |
---|---|
Entry requirements | Minimum 2:2 honours degree. If you are not a native French speaker, approximately 50% or more of your degree content should have focused on French. A strong academic record at A-level (or equivalent) including French, German or Spanish. You should also be able to speak a second language (German or Spanish). If this is at beginners' level, you would be required to develop it through a funded Subject Knowledge Enhancement course, available at various institutions. Minimum grade C or 4 at GCSE (or equivalent) in English language and mathematics. |
