A Bachelors degree and GCSEs in maths and English (or equivalent qualifications) are required for a PGCE.
A PGCE course typically takes one year of full-time study or two years of part-time study.
Funding options such as loans or scholarships may be available, but a PGCE usually involves tuition fees.
A PGCE is often considered to be more intensive due to the practical teaching components and the demands of balancing theory with practice.
A PGCE is equivalent to 60 credits at Masters level, which is often considered half of a full Masters degree.
A PGCE qualifies you to teach in schools, but you also need to complete a period of induction to become a fully qualified teacher.
The cost of a PGCE in the UK typically ranges from £9,000 to £12,000 for home students, depending on the institution.
The PGCE is known for being very time-consuming, requiring significant commitment to both coursework and teaching placements.
Admission to PGCE programmes can be highly competitive, particularly in popular subjects and institutions.
