Overview

The Professional Graduate Certificate in Post Compulsory Education and Training (PcET) qualifies students to teach in the further, adult and vocational education sector. It is a full, nationally-recognised teaching qualification, specifically designed for those aiming to teach a vocational subject in areas such as Business, Health and Social Care, Media and IT.

The University of South Wales at Newport has led the field in vocational teacher education in Wales for many years, on USW's campus in Caerleon, in the partner FE colleges and more recently in the riverside campus in the centre of Newport.

The course aims to develop student teachers:

• who are familiar with/confident about social sciences discourse • who may later be interested in pursuing Master’s study in Education • whose writing is already at Master’s level (assessed during application)
