Career opportunities
I cannot recommend this course more highly.
The tutor was highly supportive, the support for job applications and the interview process was brilliant, and the course content was exactly what I needed to get me started in History teaching. The best experience I've had in higher education.

The PGCE also gives you a postgraduate qualification and can count as 60 of the 180 credits required for a master's degree if you choose to continue your professional development in Education.
