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.
Many PGCE courses include credits that count toward a Master’s degree.

About the course
**In these difficult times, we remain committed to training the next generation of teachers. We are shifting our admissions to an online video process to make sure that we can continue to accept people onto our programmes for September. Please do email teamworks@greetlandacademy.org.uk if you have any questions, we are only too happy to help.**
Our primary course is designed and taught by a dedicated team of practising teachers. It is based on developing each trainee with a bespoke plan and experience designed to make you the best teacher you can be. You will be placed in two schools for your assessed placement from across our partnership schools in West Yorkshire. The normal pattern of the year is to be in your placement school for four days per week and to attend our training programme one day per week. We have very experienced mentors who are there to guide and support trainees throughout their training year and you will have the opportunity to visit a variety of schools on training days to broaden your experience and understanding. We provide all our trainees with their own laptop during the programme and have a dedicated website for trainee support and resources. All trainees are registered with the University of Huddersfield for a PGCE. For further details see our website
Interview process
**During this pandemic, we will continue to interview candidates via online video, and any written assessments will be completed at a later date.**
Interviews take place throughout the year, they include an interview with a selected panel of staff, a short activity for a group of pupils and a written test to assess your literacy and numeracy. These assessments don’t require revision, and the whole process usually takes between 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
How school placements work
Our programme places you in two schools from within the partnership across the year and you will work across two key stages; key stage 1 (5-7) and key stage 2 (7-11) .Our Primary school partners are based in Calderdale, Bradford, Leeds & Kirklees. Partnering with local schools in the area, we feel fully encompasses the geographical, social and economic diversity of West Yorkshire, offering our alliance breadth and depth. A key strength of our partnership is the diversity of schools; your two placement schools will be contrasting and the range of children and teachers you will work with will come from across the entire alliance ensuring you are trained to teach in all schools from the very start of your career.
