For new and returning students in September, our focus is on making our university environments safe and accessible to everyone. We’ve prepared a 'blended model' of teaching which means combining face-to-face sessions on our campuses with online lectures. All face-to-face sessions are in line with distancing rules. If students are ill or shielding, we’ll provide all lectures and course materials online.
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.
