School Choice PGCE (SCPGCE) and Postgraduate Teacher Apprenticeship places (PGTA)

All School Choice and PGTA trainees receive the same support and training from the University as our Core PGCE trainees. Please check with the Lead Partner School if you are considering part time, as this may not be possible with all School Choice PGCE or Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship places.

The Lead Partner Schools manage School Choice PGCE & Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship recruitment and administration for a group of other schools where candidates are placed for their training.
