PGCE (2nd): What courses would allowed me to teach KS3, KS4 and post 16 -or do I need different qualification?
Author: admin | Category: Staging CoursesI’m looking into PGCE courses for Modern Languages. I’d really like to be able to teach right across the years, KS3, KS4 and for A-levels.
Announcing *Home Staging Guide* - The Revolutionary New Home Staging Guide That Spotlights The Best Methods, and Opportunities You've Been Crying Out For - AND Delivers ALL The Information You Need To Stage Homes...
Some courses seem to only focus on KS3 ad KS4 teaching, while one course (at UWE) makesyou choose KS3 and KS4 OR KS4 and post 16…
What if you want to teacher everyone at all stages?
Once you have qualified to teach at two key stages you can teach any age in a school. As long as you have QTS
So you can qualify as a primary teacher and work in a VI form. Ir even an FE college.
There is a lot going on in the post 16 sector at the moment, teachers in FE now have to gain QTLS which allows you to teach from age 14 in a college not in a school.
Go for KS3 and 4, by the time you have qualified you may need a further qualification but if you do then you will find by then there will be a top up course.

The best thing to do is ring the pgce course place and simply ask you’ll get the correct answer then.
Good luck
