The Postgraduate Certificate in Education, commonly known as the PGCE, is one of the most popular academic qualifications for teaching.
Offered in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, PGCEs are designed to enhance and increase academic training, preparing students for life as a teacher. Usually taking one academic year to complete full time, and two years part time, securing a place on certain PGCE courses can be incredibly competitive.
You only need a training course to offer Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) to teach as a qualified teacher in England. However, a PGCE will increase your academic knowledge and provide you with the flexibility to teach internationally. The Scottish equivalent to a PGCE is the Professional Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE).
A PGCE combines substantial school placements with studying the theory behind teaching and learning. Most courses run from early September to July and take nine months to complete if studied full time. Some longer part-time and distance learning options are available.
PGCE courses can either be university or school-led and the majority of programmes lead to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), making you eligible to teach in a variety of countries. Scottish PGDE courses, and Welsh and Northern Irish PGCEs, are similar in structure to university-based programmes.
There is a shortage of teachers in some subjects - making securing a place on these particular PGCE courses relatively easy, while other programmes are more competitive. You should research this with the provider you're interested in and be prepared to look in other areas of the UK for places.
If your undergraduate degree doesn't link closely to the subject you intend to teach you may be offered a subject knowledge enhancement course as part of your application. This is taken before the PGCE so you'd be studying for a little longer.
In short, no - you only need QTS. The PGCE is an additional qualification offered by some providers, which you can gain alongside QTS.
However, it's advisable to gain a PGCE if you want to teach in Scotland and other countries such as the USA, as the PGCE is an internationally-recognised qualification. It's possible to gain a qualification such as a PGCert with PGCE, if you have QTS and want to gain Masters credits and a university qualification. Find out more about the routes into teaching.
Be aware that not all courses award QTS - the further education PGCE, for example. Speak to your training provider if you are unsure about whether your programme awards QTS.
In England a PGCE may be led by a:
higher education institution (HEI)
school/charity/multi-academy trust (MAT)
consortium of schools in partnership with the HEI, as in School Direct, School-Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) or Teach First.
Different types of PGCE include:
Primary - prepares you to teach children up to age 11. Programmes focus on the core curriculum, although some may allow you to specialise in a certain subject. This is the most popular PGCE and demand for places is high.
Secondary - focuses on a particular subject and prepares you to teach children between the ages of 11 and 16.
Further/Adult education - if you want to teach in colleges or conduct adult education classes, completing one of these PGCEs means you can apply for Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) status rather than QTS.
All types include placements for a minimum of 24 weeks in at least two key stages and schools.
It can be a very intense nine months, at times balancing lesson planning, teaching, marking and your own assignment deadlines.
Often starting with an academic focus, PGCE courses usually cover teaching and learning theory, managing classroom behaviour and current educational issues. After the first few weeks you'll spend up to two thirds of your time on placement in schools, teaching in two different key stages. Your placements will help you to explore theory in practice. You'll be immersed into school life gradually, with an emphasis on research-informed and evidence-based teaching.
You will also work towards meeting the professional standards, which determine recommendation for QTS. Assessment is ongoing and progressive, developing the academic standards required for the Masters-level PGCE and QTS. At the same time you will work through personalised development plans to ensure that you're able to target individual strengths and improvements.
In this way, your academic performance and teacher development are closely linked. You will reflect, get feedback from others and be assessed against the teacher standards as you progress through the PGCE.
As a university-led PGCE/PGDE trainee you will have more opportunity for studying and reflecting on your progress, as well as spending valuable time with other trainee teachers. You will need to pay fees but bursaries are available. You'll be able to move from a placement if it's really not suited to you.
If you'd like to be placed in a school from day one, school-led training may be the route for you. Trainees are often paid as trainee teaches and may have to pay fees. School-led trainees can be chosen by the school, participating as a team member from the beginning. Discover how you can build your experience by volunteering in schools.
Both routes may include a Masters-level qualification, such as a PGCE and QTS leading to the Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT)/induction year.
If you have A-levels in a shortage secondary subject, such as maths, and your degree included a large mathematical element, you may be able to do a subject knowledge enhancement course and go on to train as a maths teacher. Some courses are very competitive so you need to get plenty of work experience and apply early. If you aren't sure whether you meet the criteria, or if you gained your degree overseas, you should contact the admissions department of the institution you're considering or attend an open day. The standard tuition fee in 2019/20 for UK and European Union (EU) students is £9,250 and approximately between £11,000 and £16,000 for international students, although overseas fees vary widely. Universities may offer special reductions for alumni, so check with individual providers. You will also need to consider living costs. You're likely to have additional costs for travelling to school placements. Some providers may offer support towards travel expenses - contact them to find out more. The majority of trainees find that they have limited time for part-time work, especially while on placement. International students are advised to check their visa restrictions on working.
There are three main ways to fund teacher training and depending on your circumstances you could receive them all. Tax-free bursaries and scholarships are available - the amount of which differs depending on the
subject studied, postgraduate tuition fee and maintenance loans are available to help pay tuition fees for unsalaried teacher training routes, and additional financial support is available if you have children or a disability.
