PG Dip Teaching Qualification (Practitioner Route)

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    PGDip; Part Time, 2 years

Course Description

The PgDip TQPR is specifically for teachers working in Independent Schools in Scotland who currently do not possess a formal teaching qualification and are therefore not eligible for Full Registration with the General Teaching Council of Scotland (GTCS). The programme has been co-designed with the Scottish Council for Independent Schools (SCIS) to offer a contextualised route for teaching staff in Independent Schools in Scotland, to enable them to achieve a GTCS-accredited Initial Teacher Education award, which meets the conditions outlined by GTCS in response to their application for Full Registration. 

Entry Requirements

Applicants must hold an undergraduate degree and be currently employed as a teacher in an independent school in Scotland.

Prior to applying for the programme, participants should have the support of their head teacher/principal.

Participants will be required to hold Provisional (Conditional) Registration with the GTCS before they begin the final module of the programme.
