Our Postgraduate teaching course makes you a more effective teacher it not only teaches you the theoretical side of education it also tests your practical everyday competencies. Your colleagues will not have covered the educational topics in such depth on their PGCE courses and will also not have been tested as thoroughly on practical delivery and the management of the learning process.  To be an outstanding teacher and practitioner contact us @pct2u
