Dropping out of *****y masters to do a PGCE but no Money???

I would not drop out. Just try to get good grades

would you recommend a masters course?

sigh, nobody could answer this question

Life changes, things happen, no point regretting something if there's no point in you passing.

PGCE Secondary advice (hello from a fellow secondary teacher): depends on the subject you want to do regarding bursaries. You will be able to access a full tuition fee loan however which will get grouped into the 9% repayments from your UG loan (if you claimed these at the time). Maintenance loan is available but very minimal - I certainly couldn't live on it and used it for my petrol to get to placements, books and some new work clothes (enough to have something new for 9 days before rotating).

If you apply to PGCE courses and don't get invited to interview, wait until next year. In the mean time you could pick up some experience elsewhere/increase your current part-time hours and save up. If you get to an interview, you'll need to pass a range of tests (numeracy, literacy, analysis and critique, interview, some unis ask for a mock lesson too).

If you really want to be a teacher, don't get onto the PGCE and don't want to wait until the year after you can go through the School Direct route.

What exactly was your question? What to do if you get rejected from a PGCE?

What funding can you get if you have already used up all your student finance? Do I have to use my own money to pay for the pgce course or is there any help for costs

Does the school direct have pgce?

No but you get QTS exactly the same as a PGCE. Why are you so keen on the PGCE, because of loans?

I'm sure certain subjects can be eligible for loans through School Direct but admittedly I don't know how it works.

You are clearly motivated but said that you are an introvert - do you think the leadership, assertiveness and public speaking aspects of teaching suit your personality?

Which countries do you think you may like to teach in and what subject? Have you checked Visa requirements and whether your intended qualification is recognised?

You said that you currently work in a college and you aspire to teach in FE. I currently work in a college in Scotland and a number of support staff have cross trained into Lecturing positions as part of their professional development. They've been funded on a part time FE education qualification and given classes to teach to give them practice, alongside their current day job.

Any scope for you to do this at your college?
