Choose Kingston's Secondary Teaching leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) PGCE

Kingston’s PGCE course in Secondary Teaching offers an intensive and well-supported year of training that will prepare you to teach children at Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 and in the sixth form.

What will you study?

This is a very practical programme, and 24 weeks of the 36-week course are based in school. You will have assessed practice placements in at least two different schools, so you’ll get an opportunity to experience varied types of school. Mentors within the schools and/or your university tutors will offer support and guidance during the placements. Your university studies will focus on the teaching of your specialist subject, together with professional skills (eg planning work for pupils) that will help you become an effective teacher.

We work closely with local education authorities, schools, colleges and a wide-range of educational organisations. This helps us to ensure your studies are kept up-to-date in the changing world of education.
