pgce courses

[k8bailey]

hi

I'm just about to finish my degree in Graphic Comnication, I'm looking into doing a PGCE (secondary education, pref. Art & design or post compulsory education) course next but need to find a complete list of where they are offered in South Wales (Unis and colleges) I've been through the GTTR website but its only showing university courses, and i know for a fact that there are some colleges which offer this couse as a part time option but don't know which ones.

Also do you know if there are any general PGCE courses available which aren't aimed at a specific subject?

TIA, k8

how can you know for a 'fact' that some colleges offer part time PGCE's but not which ones? Did u read something somewhere that said that 'some colleges offer part time PGCE's but we are hiding the information from you'?

You would be lucky to find a 'college' to offer postgraduate courses as this is usually the realm of universities. And the institution would have to pass rigourous QAA tests to prove they are able to deliver the course to required standards.

And with 4 years university admissions experience i would be highly dubious of 'colleges' offering postgraduate programmes. Check the validation of the institution and it's courses before making a decision.

As part of your 'teacher training' try doing a little more research than Google perhaps.

firstly i never use google - don't make assumptions and i know that 2yr part time PGCE courses exist in welsh colleges because i have a friend who is enrolled on one but this course cannot be applied for via the GTTR site all i wanted to know was which other colleges offer this course?! people post questions on this site looking for genuine help and advice not sarcasic answers from self important peole like you
