The PGCE iQTS (DL) is an internationally recognised degree that leads to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) in England, allowing you to study flexibly via distance learning from anywhere in the world. It’s been designed to be delivered to primary ‘homeroom’ teachers across all subjects (which must include planning, delivery, and evaluation of all core subjects and a range of foundation subjects), and secondary subject specialist teachers.
The course blends applied teaching theory and practice in two taught modules and two teaching practice and theory modules of 120 days, including a second school placement. Two of the modules are research-focused and delivered at master’s level, giving you a strong foundation for further postgraduate study. Successful completion provides a direct pathway to Stage 2 of our MA International Education or MA Education course – both offered via distance learning.
Delivered by expert academics, this course is ideal for teachers and education professionals working in international settings who are looking to advance their careers. It opens up opportunities for more senior roles in teaching, leadership, and educational management, and the skills you gain are also transferable to areas such as education policy and government.
The University of Sunderland is the awarding body for the PGCE iQTS and is responsible for the quality assurance of that award. On successful completion of the degree, the University recommends graduates to the Department for Education (DfE) UK for the award of QTS.
