In England, you can basically teach anything once you have QTS. In Scotland it is very strict . You can ONLY teach what you have a degree in and only what sector you are registered with. (Secondary or Primary)
This is all in England btw, so it costs way more money than Scotland, and I just saw on the news the other day the govt is thinking of increasing it %12 in the next few years, it’s bloody ridiculous
With respect, viewers please do your own research. Always thought... PGCE secondary - allows you to also teach primary. PGCE primary - does not allow you to teach secondary.
QTS is just a qualification towards being a teacher, it is up to a secondary school as to whether they want to employ someone who trained in Primary. I know a couple of trainees from my Primary PGCE course that moved into teaching KS3 at secondary school. If you have a good specialism subject knowledge - you're good to apply!
I was really shocked to hear you say that if I do a primary PGCE and get QTS, I could teach my undergrad degree subject at GCSE or A Level! Will I be required to take some kind of extra course to be able to do that, or will I already be qualified enough with just my QTS from primary education PGCE? 😳
If I'm honest I'm not entirely sure! I haven't looked into it in too much detail as it's not a route I'm considering at the moment. However I imagine that simply a QTS in Primary and then some experience working with secondary aged children could land you in an interview!
Starting the PGCE this month, and wanted to ask, around what time of year would you suggest to start applying for teaching positions? Thanks for the informative video btw!
I began in January and secured a position in March - this was relatively early but I'm glad I did it as it allowed me to relax and focus on the rest of my course instead of interviews :)
@@Slidetotheleft how does one do interviews while being expected to be in school & placements? I am starting my SCITT/PGCE in September and yes, jobs afterwards ARE on my mind.
For an overseas teacher living outside UK & having neither a work permit nor a national insurance number, does that mean she is not entitled to apply for a teaching post in UK?.

Were you worried about not being able to get to school because I don’t have a car? I can’t drive (starting my PGCE in September) and I’m petrified that I’m not going to be able to get to a placement school because of it
Omg it’s not a problem at all! I took the bus everyday and found it so fine - just becomes part of the routine! Your uni should ask if you have a car and if not they should find you a school that has good transport links ☺️
Yes! I personally did not have one but I know many people who did - It's possibly easier to maintain during uni periods of work as opposed to placements though!
Hi,I've done masters degree in business field in London,now I wanna enter into education field, can I do teaching directly or I've to do any course or pgce etc, please let me know, waiting for your kind response, kind regards
I did a Psychology undergrad and then a one year PGCE to get my teaching qualification. Some people do a three year primary undergrad instead but both lead to the same outcome of teaching status!
@@Slidetotheleft thanks for replying, I just become fan of you and watching all ur videos .I just want to ask you a lengthy question here “is it worth doing a pgce course in England. Im from India, I’m 32 yrs old having 8yrs experience as a lecturer. I do teach physics for competitive exams(11 and 12 grade).I’m actually doing quite good now but I would like to explore world and earn handsome money. so How good is pgce for me. Do I get jobs immediately and have faster carrier growth?? Is it risky?? Plz give ur views.
@@physicsvedika657sadly money is not good at all in teaching. Go into it only if you have passion for teaching. Sadly the money vs stress is not sustainable.
No - it is a course through a university so you pay the tuition. If you want to get into teaching but are unsure about PGCE fees I would recommend going through something like TeachFirst. This is a stream where you go straight into teaching your own class from the beginning on a paid salary instead of moving between placements whilst studying.
@@seunorisco5040 This a question that bothers most internationals. but from the videos i've watched so far it seems a lil bit tough working part time while on placement due to the workload. meanwhile we need something to cater for our bills
Thank you for being positive about it - all I’ve seen from other people are nightmare placements etc… I’m really nervous but excited haha
Super helpful and so lovely to see someone with such personality!! Fab video love xx
omg what a compliment aha thank you!

I’ve been messaging diff unis and they all say I need a bachelors degree before I do a pgce, what a fuckin drag

What about Wales?
Absolutely brilliant video Isla

I’m starting my PGCE Primary at Durham in Sept! X
....doing the PGCE online...uni of Cumbria...then hope to go to a school as NQT...
Out of curiosity is David Mason still there? He was Head of PGCE in Science at Uni of Cumbria when I was on placement in 2010?

I believe....
Secondary PGCE - you can teach primary.
Primary PGCE - you can't teach secondary.

Thank you for the useful information :) At which stage of your PGCE did you start your job applications?
I began applying from January and was lucky to secure my role at the end of Spring term but this was pretty early compared to my peers!
Can we do part time jobs while doing PGCE in UK??
Yes! I personally did not have one but I know many people who did - It's possibly easier to maintain during uni periods of work as opposed to placements though!
Starting tomorrow!!
Best of luck with everything!

You can go into Teach First if you think a PGCE isn't for you. This is a course but you are thrown into the school and paid from the start!
What bachelor degree did you do to get into teaching? I’m doing art and design this year but does primary education need an undergraduates?
I did a Psychology undergrad and then a one year PGCE to get my teaching qualification. Some people do a three year primary undergrad instead but both lead to the same outcome of teaching status!
