Which secondary route is right for me?
If you answer YES to the following questions...
-
Have I recently graduated and have little experience of comprehensive schools?
-
Do I enjoy working with a group of peers to share ideas face-to-face?
-
Do I think I need to work intensively to qualify as a teacher over a nine month period?
... then you are likely to be more suited to the PGCE over one year.
If you answer YES to the following questions...
-
Have I already worked in a secondary school in a supportive role?
-
Do I want to have the opportunity to work with other trainees on a regular basis but spend the majority of time in school?
-
Do I wish to be employed by a school as I work to qualify as a teacher?
...then you are likely to be more suited to the Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP).
