Lead Partner PGCE
This one year programme leads to a PGCE, recommendation for QTS and 60 credits at Master's level.
On our Lead Partner route you will learn hands-on in the classroom and at the university. You'll know in advance which schools you will be placed with and you will be able to develop close relationships with the teachers there.
You will be placed in specific local schools so if you are keen on being based in a particular area, this could be the route for you.
We offer the Lead Partner route on a Tuition fee basis. We do not offer a salaried Lead Partner route at this time.
