To become a teacher, you'll need a PGCE with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Our PGCE qualifies you to work in either primary or secondary schools, with a focus on the curriculum in Wales. You'll study through the medium of English, Welsh or both. Your study is conducted online, including live online seminars, with face-to-face support provided on-site in school. You’ll teach in two different schools in Wales (at least 120 days over two years). Students endorsed by a school may be fully funded (salaried route) or self-funded (part-time route), with self-funded students potentially eligible for a student loan and/or maintenance grant. Key features of the course - Qualify to teach at primary level or at secondary phases in one of a choice of subjects - Available to study through the medium of Welsh or English, across the whole of Wales - A fully accredited programme by the Education Workforce Council leading to Qualified Teacher Status - Link theory to practice while developing your subject knowledge - Choose from two routes, salaried or part-time (self-funded), picking whichever best suits your circumstances
