Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) (Level 7)

Outline

You will study modules which make effective links between your professional practice and educational theory. These allow you to explore current educational issues such as planning effective and engaging lessons, classroom management and health and wellbeing.

Most importantly you will have to show that you can be effective as an educational practitioner and you will be expected to demonstrate this through an appropriate professional teaching placement.
