Our programme offers work-place related higher education qualifications for those interested in pursuing a career in education and training. The Professional Graduate Certificate in Education and Training (PGCE) consists of 150 credits at level 6.
The programme and courses have been written to take into account guidance and requirements of current initial teacher education (ITE) reforms, Ofsted and organisational policies. The courses are designed to develop reflective and competent practitioners who actively and effectively contribute to promoting positive and inclusive learning experiences for their learners. Modules incorporate reflective practice, not only in relation to teaching but also to the students' own functional skills. The breadth of modules offered underpins the variety of skills and knowledge required to fulfil the roles and responsibilities of those working within the sector. This provides an enriched programme which addresses the market demand of NESCOT's applicants. Feedback from existing students and enquiries made to the centre has informed the development of the programme: It focuses heavily on classroom practice throughout, as well as considering the wider perspective of working within the sector. Significant importance is attached to work-based learning and assessment.
Throughout, the programmes seek to develop students' analytical, reflective, synthesis and evaluative skills. There are assessed PDP (Personal Development Planning) modules. Within these, students will develop their ability to self-evaluate and identify development needs; negotiate and review targets relating to both their academic and teaching skills; examine personal values, beliefs and attitudes; and explore the concept of professionalism. Students will have the opportunity to focus on their subject specialism. The resources, action research and curriculum development modules all provide vehicles for this activity. Full-time placements can be arranged at NESCOT within the following departments: Preparation for Life and Work, English, Mathematics, Computing & IT, Sport, Animal care, Media, Early Years, Childcare and Health and Social Care. The action research module, in particular, will also provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate independence in following lines of enquiry and applying active research skills.
The aims of the programme are:
Your time at university should be enjoyable and rewarding, and it is important that it is not spoilt by unnecessary financial worries. We recommend that you spend time planning your finances, both before coming to university and while you are here. We can offer advice on living costs and budgeting, as well as on awards, allowances and loans.
