d.meades Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 It's a PCE, which is like a PGCE but without the credits counting towards a Masters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that actually entail? University based or school based? Significant teacher training hours? Is it a post graduate certificate? AFAIK the PGCE doesnt necessarily have credit towards a masters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was both University and School based, 4 days in school and 1 in University, so I got significant teacher training hours. It is a Post Graduate certificate.

The PGCE has more University content and the requirements for Australian teaching involve 4 years University training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did spend (I think) a month at Uni before the school year started, and we spent a total of 90 days at University. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 The usual requirement is that you spend 45 days in school and the rest of the time in Uni so you'd better ask AITSL if your certificate qualifies. I know that essentially school based training does not qualify. I've not heard of a PCE, only PGCE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of British teachers find their qualifications aren't enough, and you may be in the same boat. I suggest you check it out before you apply for a visa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
