Course Description

Overview

Get a headstart in the world of teaching with this introductory course

The PGCE is a Postgraduate Certificate in Education that proves your credentials as a teacher in England, and can also allow you to teach abroad.

As a potentially important qualification to gain, preparing yourself to study for it is important. On this course, you’ll examine the academic literature around what teaching and learning in schools look like.

Based upon the University of Warwick’s successful PGCE programme, you’ll learn observational teaching skills – along with key legal knowledge – that will stand you in great stead for the PGCE to come.

This course is aimed at anyone who has accepted a place on an English PGCE course or is preparing for a teaching career in higher or further education
