Can i do a PCGE with QTS in food technology teaching without a maths gcse?

Hi,
I am currently in the process at university of getting work placements and deciding life postgraduate. I am currently in my second year studying Food Science and Technology BSc Hons. i have been looking at PGCE with QTS courses for food technology teaching and am worried i cant do this as i haven’t got a math GCSE. I have also studied level 3 diploma in food technology previous to university. Can i still go on to do this?

"To train to teach in primary and secondary schools in England, you’ll need:

GCSEs at grade 4 (C) or above in English and maths (and science if you want to teach primary)

a bachelor’s degree in any subject

Different training providers may also have specific criteria. For example, some may ask that you have a bachelor’s degree class 2:2 or above.
Some training providers may consider candidates with pending GCSEs. If you do not have the GCSEs required, they may also ask you to sit an equivalency test or to offer other evidence to show your ability.
Talk to your teacher training provider or find a course(opens in new window) to check what your provider will accept."
