Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) - Part-Time

This part-time Postgraduate Certificate in Education is aimed at serving secondary-school teachers who want a formally recognised teaching qualification without stepping away from the classroom. It refreshes practising teachers' command of current pedagogical approaches and resources and prepares them to apply twenty-first-century skills within an evolving profession, with particular attention to classroom-level teaching and to reflective practice. The programme normally runs across four semesters, extendable to a maximum of six, and is organised into modules covering professional studies and professional practice, plus elective modules that let trainees broaden their expertise. To be awarded the qualification, candidates must accumulate 45 credits while keeping an overall grade point average of at least 2.00. Alongside coursework, trainees undertake supervised teaching practice placed directly in schools, where they are observed and assessed in a genuine classroom setting, giving the qualification a strong practical grounding alongside its academic content.
