PGCE Post-Compulsory Education and Training

• Applicants will normally have (or expect to achieve before enrolment) a Bachelor’s Honours degree, at lower Second Class level or above from a UK higher education institution or a recognised equivalent.
• The content of your previous experience and education should provide the necessary foundation for work as a teacher.
• At the point of enrolment to the course, it is also necessary to have a GCSE at grade 4 (C) or above (or its equivalent) in English language and mathematics.
• Please note we do not accept Level 2 in numeracy or literacy as an equivalent.
• If you do not already have GCSEs in English language and mathematics, or their equivalent, and are not registered to take them, you should visit Equivalency Testing. We also offer our own in-house equivalency tests. If you are successful at interview and need to pass an equivalency test to meet the entry requirements, our Admissions team will refer you to the details of our test.
