PGCE 2014 Applications (NOT FOR SPECIFIC INTERVIEW TASK DISCUSSIONS)

I've just got an email from them and I've got an interview on the same day as you, I need to start preparing for the presentation! Have you taken your skills tests yet?

I've just started looking into my presentation. Stressing over flights at the moment. I don't have high hopes for my interview but am so glad I got a chance.
I took the skills test last year and got my English. I'm going to my maths once/if I get an offer. Have you? Good luck

Oh god, just had the most stressful night's sleep. I put applications into Sunderland University, Redcar & Cleveland SCITT, and Oxford Brookes. I was daydreaming about interviews before I dozed off and decided to google how each university interviewed people (silly, I know). Looked up Sunderland first because I like it the most, and realised I'd somehow missed the fact that applicants 'must have at least 50% of their degree in a National Curriculum subject'. Started panicking and trying to find another uni to apply to within travelling distance but was having very little luck (I don't fancy my chances applying to Durham).

Luckily just rang Sunderland to double check that they don't accept my degree, and they've said to definitely put an application in anyway. So I've stopped worrying so much. What an emotional rollercoaster this whole process is! I've also emailed my secondary referee to check that she's received the email after so many people here have had problems... not going to contact my principle referee yet because I know he has a ton of PGCE apps to wade through, but will be emailing him soon too if I don't hear back.

I've learnt it is the worst thing ever to think about teacher training at bedtime! I also made the mistake of looking into interview details .

My secondary reference has sent hers in! After what felt like weeks of silence, I now at least have some movement on my application, particularly as my primary said he was planning on filling in my reference today. Then it can all be sent off and the waiting really begins... Although, by the sounds of it, interviews are rolling out much quicker than I expected.

I'm applying for General Primary there. What are you applying for?

Im applying for Secondary Business, my cousin done primary last year so she given me so e tips on the interview ;-)

Oh ok, where are you at the moment then? Try to think positively you'll be fine I've got mine booked for Monday so hopefully I pass them ready for Wednesday!

facebook.com/Replacement.Certificates - A-levels/ GCSEs/ NVQ's/ BTEC/ Vocational skill certificates replacements and much more!

Do you have to provide you GCSE Certs? I thought if you'd done you degree that's what they would want proof of not GCSE?

You have to have GCSE English and Maths above C to get onto a course, and also C in science for primary and you have to take original certificates to interview. My courses are asking for A-level certificates too, not sure if that is the case for everyone.
