PGCE with iQTS
A postgraduate teaching qualification combined with iQTS, giving you academic credit and professional recognition in one programme.
What it is
The PGCE with iQTS pairs a university Postgraduate Certificate in Education, often carrying Master's-level credits, with International Qualified Teacher Status. It suits teachers who want both an academic qualification and professional status for England from a single programme.
Who it may be relevant to
- Teachers abroad who want academic and professional recognition together
- Teachers who may later progress to a Master's using PGCE credits
Important considerations
- Workload is higher than iQTS alone because of the academic modules
- Check how many Master's credits are included and whether they transfer
