Thanks for this video! Super helpful advice :)

In England, you can basically teach anything once you have QTS. In Scotland it is very strict . You can ONLY teach what you have a degree in and only what sector you are registered with. (Secondary or Primary)

Out of curiosity is David Mason still there? He was Head of PGCE in Science at Uni of Cumbria when I was on placement in 2010?

For an overseas teacher living outside UK & having neither a work permit nor a national insurance number, does that mean she is not entitled to apply for a teaching post in UK?. As to the QTS, can it be obtained online? Does it have an expiry date? Where may I get materials to study it? Can I submit a proof of enrolment and work till I receive the certificate? Is there any exceptions for teachers from QTS or any other alternatives? What’s the shortest time to get QTS?Can you teach while earning it? Is there a table that clarifies the diff. Bet.

Were you worried about not being able to get to school because I don’t have a car? I can’t drive (starting my PGCE in September) and I’m petrified that I’m not going to be able to get to a placement school because of it

Omg it’s not a problem at all! I took the bus everyday and found it so fine - just becomes part of the routine! Your uni should ask if you have a car and if not they should find you a school that has good transport links ☺️

Thank you for the useful information :) At which stage of your PGCE did you start your job applications?

I began applying from January and was lucky to secure my role at the end of Spring term but this was pretty early compared to my peers!

I was really shocked to hear you say that if I do a primary PGCE and get QTS, I could teach my undergrad degree subject at GCSE or A Level! Will I be required to take some kind of extra course to be able to do that, or will I already be qualified enough with just my QTS from primary education PGCE? 😳

If I'm honest I'm not entirely sure! I haven't looked into it in too much detail as it's not a route I'm considering at the moment. However I imagine that simply a QTS in Primary and then some experience working with secondary aged children could land you in an interview!

I believe.... Secondary PGCE - you can teach primary. Primary PGCE - you can't teach secondary.

What bachelor degree did you do to get into teaching? I’m doing art and design this year but does primary education need an undergraduates?

@Slidetotheleft

I did a Psychology undergrad and then a one year PGCE to get my teaching qualification. Some people do a three year primary undergrad instead but both lead to the same outcome of teaching status!

Starting the PGCE this month, and wanted to ask, around what time of year would you suggest to start applying for teaching positions? Thanks for the informative video btw!

With respect, viewers please do your own research. Always thought... PGCE secondary - allows you to also teach primary. PGCE primary - does not allow you to teach secondary.

QTS is just a qualification towards being a teacher, it is up to a secondary school as to whether they want to employ someone who trained in Primary. I know a couple of trainees from my Primary PGCE course that moved into teaching KS3 at secondary school. If you have a good specialism subject knowledge - you're good to apply!

I do teach physics for competitive exams(11 and 12 grade).I’m actually doing quite good now but I would like to explore world and earn handsome money. so How good is pgce for me.

Do you get paid working in your school placement?

@Slidetotheleft

No - it is a course through a university so you pay the tuition. If you want to get into teaching but are unsure about PGCE fees I would recommend going through something like TeachFirst. This is a stream where you go straight into teaching your own class from the beginning on a paid salary instead of moving between placements whilst studying.
