Course summaryThe International Postgraduate Certificate in Education (iPGCE) is an online distance-learning programme tailored to those looking to gain a recognised qualification from a UK university with a long and distinguished history in education and teacher development. Studying for the iPGCE is fully online and designed for students (from anywhere in the world) who are already undertaking teaching work in international settings, or who wish to do so in the future. Upon successful completion of the iPGCE, students will also have developed the necessary skills and knowledge to pursue further studies, such as an education-related MA.The 100% online iPGCE is predominately aimed at in-service practitioners seeking professional development. The programme is designed to help further their career by complementing other teaching qualifications and advancing their understanding of educational issues pertinent to their own context. During the course, students will gain valuable insight to inform their own professional development and bring together theory and practice. Whilst the programme itself is not a form of teaching licence, nor does it lead to International Qualified Teacher Status (iQTS)/Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), it is a fantastic way for practitioners to enhance their professional practice and career prospect in a collaborative environment.
