Advice on the PGCE course

Hello, I am a British citizen living and working in China, I recently completed a Master of Arts in Education, and my next plan is to obtain a teaching certification such as a PGCE. I plan to complete this certification online. Can you please recommend accredited universities that offer PGCE courses? I have looked at the courses offered by the University of Sunderland and the University of Nottingham, but they are quite expensive at around £8,000. My long-term plan is to work and teach in Europe, which is why I choose the PGCE over an easier alternative such as a Moreland University teacher certification. Thank you for your help.

It's great that you're considering a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education) to support your long-term teaching career in Europe. The PGCE is widely recognised in Europe and beyond, so it’s a solid choice for your professional development. We are the forefront of International Initial Teacher Training and having developed the PGCE Education over 20 years ago in one country, we now operate across the world. We also have our tutors make on-site quality assurance visits or use live streaming observation so you may have the opportunity to meet with them to discuss your ongoing professional development. If you have any questions about your options at Sunderland, be sure to let us know :smile:

I am doing mine through the University of Huddersfield. I am not on campus as my university (Hull) cover the PGCE through Huddersfield. It's 7500 I know it's only 500 cheaper but it's really good. In comparison to the other universities I found this one tens to be more understandable not many assignments but 250 hours of placement is required. Hope this helps.
