School Experience for PGCE application as a non-UK citizen

Hi,

I'm a non-UK citizen who is planning to apply for a PGCE. I want to apply to a school experience scheme but so far, it seems like the schools require a right to work in the UK for the school experience. Do you have any idea as to how I can get school experience without a right to work? I do hold a tourist visa.
Do you think a virtual school experience can be helpful if I can't do one in person?

Thanks!

Hi @muzeyyen

You NEED to get a Get Into Teaching advisor! They are the BEST!

Click here to apply for one. Have a read of the eligibility criteria and what support they can offer and see if it is something you are interested in.

I recently completed a PGCE interview and was accepted! My advisor was brilliant when it came to writing my personal statement and practicing for the interview:smile:

I wish you all the best.

As far as I'm aware, the UK doesn't issue "tourist visas". I assume you have a "Standard Visitor" visa, which allows visits for tourism, amongst other things; see https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor

Is there a reason why you can't do your work experience in a country where you are allowed to work?
