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
As a Teach North Maths trainee, you will encourage students to think deeply and problem solve more effectively – a great life skill that all universities and employers will appreciate. Alongside your students, you will explore number, algebra, shape and space and statistics.
You will deliver lessons that promote opportunities for students to construct their own learning and discover their own rules, through the use of concrete materials such as counters and pictorial representations to demonstrate and apply concepts to solve abstract and real-life problems.
Your classroom will be brimming with discussion, questioning, proving and explaining.
On completion of this programme, you will be awarded a PGCE with QTS and 90 Masters credits in Education from Durham University.
You’ll be delighted to know that we have a strong partnership with Durham University who are one of the leading departments for education in the UK as they regularly feature in the top five in national university league tables such as 3rd in the Guardian University Guide 2019. This partnership creates a collaborative model of training.
School placements
During the programme, you will complete two placements in our alliance schools and academies. The location of these placements is decided by the Teach North team who will consider your home location, mode of transport and the capacity of the school or academy.
