Earning a PGCE Primary (QTS) certification prepares you to be a highly desirable teacher, ready to motivate, instruct, and guide young learners toward a more promising tomorrow
Our PGCE Primary program offers valuable partnerships with numerous local schools, and the vibrant communities we work with will enhance your learning journey. After joining the PGCE primary course, you can choose to focus on either the 3-7 or 5-11 age groups. Those selecting the 3-7 specialization will complete placements in both Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1, while 5-11 specialization students will gain experience in both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 classrooms.
Throughout the program, you'll be encouraged to make well-reasoned teaching choices that support your professional growth. After successfully finishing your PGCE, you'll receive 80 credits toward a Master's degree, with the option to return part-time to complete your postgraduate qualification.
