The Postgraduate Certificate in Post Compulsory Education and Training (PcET) provides professional teaching qualifications for careers in further, adult, and vocational education. This nationally accredited program is tailored for individuals pursuing vocational instruction in fields like Business, Health and Social Care, Media, and IT. For decades, the University of South Wales' Newport campus has pioneered vocational teacher training in Wales, operating from its Caerleon location, partner FE institutions, and more recently from its riverside campus in Newport's city center.
Our alumni consistently secure long-term teaching positions. Throughout this program, you'll build both confidence and practical abilities for engaging diverse learners while incorporating modern technologies and digital tools. The course also lays foundations for advanced academic pursuits. Graduates typically find roles as PcET professionals within post-16 education sectors including Further Education, training organizations, adult learning programs, and workplace training schemes. Many former students now work across the industry and return to mentor new trainees, with recent graduates securing both full-time and part-time positions throughout the sector.
