PGCE with QTS
A postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE) with qualified teacher status (QTS) will allow you to teach in state schools in England and may allow you to teach in other parts of the UK.
It may also allow you to teach overseas, though you should always check what qualifications are needed in the country you’d like to teach in.

About the course
As a Teach North Computing trainee, you will drive students to think deeply and become resilient problem solvers who understand today’s technological world. Alongside your students, you will explore the four cornerstones of Computational Thinking, providing firm foundations for other topics within the subject.
You will deliver lessons that develop and consolidate students’ basic ICT skills that will allow them to access more complex Computing concepts. Your students will also explore fundamental principles and concepts of Computing, including abstraction, decomposition, logic, algorithms, and data representation.
Your classroom will be brimming with extended discussion about the ethical, moral and social implication of technology in society. There will also be plentiful opportunities for practical application of key concepts through a chosen programming language as well as investigations into how computers work.
On completion of this programme, you will be awarded a PGCE with QTS and 60 Masters credits in Education from Sheffield Hallam University.
You’ll be delighted to know that we have a strong partnership with Sheffield Hallam University, who are a national centre of education and are recognised for their excellence and innovation in teaching and learning. This partnership creates a collaborative model of training.
