About Your Training Provider

Our high quality Postgraduate Certificate in Education course focuses on developing the confidence of trainees to become reflective classroom practitioners and all-round professionals. The course is highly practical in emphasis, offering the opportunity to develop essential skills through extensive classroom experience, and to interpret and reflect on that experience through reading, active taught sessions and discussion.

Our PGCE teacher training courses are taught by academics who are leaders in their field, with years of experience as teachers themselves. It’s a combination that makes for inspirational teaching, informed by current research and grounded in a practical understanding of what works in the classroom. In our latest Ofsted inspection, our Primary provision was rated as Outstanding and our Secondary as Good, with inspectors stating “Trainees and NQTs (Newly Qualified Teachers) are greatly prized by local and regional schools.”

The course provides the opportunity to attain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a postgraduate qualification with 60 credits at Level 7 which can become part of a full Masters degree as graduates progress through their career. In 2016, 98% of our student teachers attained PGCE and Qualified Teacher Status, and 91% of those who completed the course were awarded 60 credits at Level 7.
