About the course

The Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) Secondary Business is a one-year course that leads to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). You'll train to become a Business teacher for the secondary age range (14-19). You'll gain 60 academic credits at master's level as part of the course. 

Teaching is both a challenging and a rewarding career with a high level of job satisfaction. It is a great privilege, as well as a great responsibility, to play such a key role in young people's lives. We focus on supporting our trainees to thrive, and we do this alongside teachers and mentors in school. We also facilitate you to collaborate with your peers, and to graduate with a ready-made, supportive professional network.
