Programme Structure

Learning and assessment:

This PGCE recognises the diversity of student learning needs and experiences. Teaching, learning and assessment strategies have all been designed to meet these differing needs. Guest speakers from different areas of the further education and skills sector may also be included as part of the course where applicable.

Your teaching placement is a central feature of the course. You are required to teach for a minimum of 150 hours of teaching over the period of the course together with a minimum of 100 non-teaching hours over two placements. This is a national requirement.

You can expect a wide range of assessments on the course, which are undertaken both individually as well as in groups. Examples of methods of assessment used include reports, case studies, reflective writing pieces, presentations, academic posters, observations of your own and others’ teaching practice, and assignments.
