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
This Schools Direct Teacher Training course is deliberately arranged so that your “hands-on” experience in the classroom, always under the close supervision and guidance of an experienced teacher, is complemented by the input from the University of Winchester plus Professional Development days across the consortium to contextualize and inform what you are experiencing in the classroom setting on a weekly basis.
School placements
You will be placed at a “home-school” where you will base yourself Monday to Thursday, for most of the academic training year. Between January and February half term (broadly) you will be placed in a second, ideally contrasting, school for Monday to Thursday. Fridays are set aside for University or Consortium training and reflection days.
Entry requirements
Qualifications needed
Applicants must hold a degree of a UK university, higher education institution or an acceptable equivalent at 2:2 or above. Their degree should include a minimum content of 50% which is directly related to the subject which they are training to teach.
Applicants must be in possession of appropriate prior qualifications including GCSE grade C or above in English (or English Language) and Mathematics.
Personal qualities
We are looking for aspiring teachers who have a passion for their subject specialist area and who delight in sharing their love of learning with young people. You should be an organised and efficient self-starter who is willing to take on critical feedback in this undeniably intensive but hugely rewarding year of professional and personal growth. You should be resilient and resourceful.
Other requirements
The Department for Education has withdrawn the requirement for ITE applicants to complete literacy and numeracy Skills Tests.
During the selection process and as part of your training, you will be required to demonstrate competency in Fundamental skills in English and mathematics.
Fees and financial support
Financial support from the training provider
There are three types of funding available for teacher training - depending on your circumstances, you could receive all three:
- Tax-free bursary or scholarship
- Tuition Fee Loan and Maintenance Loan
- Additional financial support if you’re a parent, have an adult dependent or have a disability
Further information on tuition fee and maintenance loans and additional financial support can be found on the Get into teaching website
