Professional Certificate in Education / ProfGCE (London South East Colleges, Bromley Campus)
This course is ideal if you’re already working as a teacher or trainer in post-compulsory education and wish to gain a recognised teaching qualification.
The PCE/ProfGCE is a perfect choice if you're looking to further your career in post-compulsory education. You can study full-time or part-time, or by online distance learning if you are unable to attend weekly classes.
The course will equip you with the skills to uphold the professional standards of teaching, with modules covering policy and curriculum issues, theories of learning and inclusion, and development of subject specialism. Upon successful completion, you'll be awarded the Professional Certificate in Education (for non-graduates) or Professional Graduate Certificate in Education (for graduates).
The course is offered by one of the university's partner colleges, London South East Colleges, on its Bromley Campus.

How you will learn
This section helps you understand more about how you'll learn based on standard delivery of teaching and learning on campus.
However, as a response to COVID-19 we are currently operating a 'blended model' of teaching and learning (except for distance-learning courses). This means a combination of face-to-face sessions on our campuses with online lectures. There is additional support for any students who are unable to attend campus because they are ill or shielding. We'll continue to offer blended learning to all our students, in line with government guidelines, for as long as we are advised to. If government or local authority rules require it, we may be limited to offering online-only learning but will return to blended learning as soon as we are safely able to do so.

Overall workload
If you are studying full-time, you should expect the workload to be similar to a full-time job. For part-time students, this will reduce in proportion with the number of courses you are studying.
Each module you study towards this degree is worth 15 or 30 credits. These represent around 150 or 300 study hours respectively. If you receive 100 contact hours for a 30-credit module, you should expect to commit 200 hours to independent study to complete it successfully.
