Overview

PGCE for International Trainees (fully online) at University of Buckingham is a 37-week school-based course which has been adapted from our popular Independent PGCE in the UK. You must be employed in a school to take the course with a teaching timetable of at least 10 hours a week. You will work under the guidance of your in-school mentor and your university tutor. Each week you will be observed by your mentor, reflect on your practice and have a one-to-one meeting with your mentor to review progress and set targets.Live course lectures, will take place on Thursdays (14 weeks) and will complement the weekly programme of course online resources. In addition, there will be two induction days in August to attend.

You will be assigned a university tutor who will meet you and your mentor regularly (approximately once a month) online to assess your progress and guide your development.

How is the PGCE Assessed?

The PGCE is an academic qualification that allows you to reflect on your personal and professional development and respond positively to feedback. To pass the course you will need to meet each of the Teacher Standards as set by the Department for Education in England through your teaching and also write and pass three essays which will be assessed at masters (L7) level. Those passing at Level 7 will receive 60 masters credits which you may want to put towards a full masters at a later date.

The three essays will collectively enable students to:

Research their own practice and reflect on effective strategies for effective teaching and learning

Take responsibility for their own learning and study independently
Function as independently-minded professionals capable of contributing to wider educational debate
