Cardiff Met PGCE Interview

Hi there,

Has anyone had an interview for primary PGCE yet at Cardiff met?

I got mine Monday & really do not know what to expect. It doesn't say anything about a presentation or preparing for one? so hope it's not just put to us on the day.

I had mine for secondary history a few weeks ago and it was just a really calm and welcoming interview.
When I got there I checked in at reception and they told me to grab a coffee and theyd take me down when my interview time came. After being taken to the room I was interviewed by the head of History and a headteacher of a local school I could be in during my PGCE. They asked the generic questions of why I want to do a PGCE, why secondary, differentiation in a classroom, my experience, an educational issue currently going on, how much welsh I knew and then asked if I had any questions for them.
I was then left to roam around and grab lunch (my interview was at half 10) until I had my Maths and English tests at 2pm. The on screen maths and English test last about 30 mins each and you can have a 10/15 minute break between if you want. There is then a 45 minute English written response to an article given. If you also want to do the PGCE through the medium of welsh there is also an on screen welsh test to do which is an extra 30 mins.

I had my interview on Thursday, 4th December and I received my conditional offer (of having a DBS check an achieving a 2:2) on Friday, 12th December - so they have a quick turn around

I was just wondering what the pass mark is for the literacy and numeracy tests and do you find out on the day if you've passed or they don't say at all.

Also, well done on getting a place, you must be so excited

Hi, for Cardiff met uni, do I need to know Welsh language? Do they care it?
