About Professional Graduate Certificate (PgCE) Post Compulsory Education and Training (PcET), PgCE - at University of South Wales

The Professional Graduate Certificate in Post Compulsory Education and Training (PcET) qualifies you 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 our campus in Caerleon, in our partner FE colleges and more recently in our riverside campus in the centre of Newport.

The course aims to develop student teachers

  • who are new to social sciences discourse (e.g. artists, engineers, performers)
  • who may later be interested in pursuing Master's study in their own subject discipline
  • whose writing is not yet at Master's level (assessed during application)

You would need to hold a level 6 qualification in their teaching subject area, along with one or more year's vocational experience in their teaching subject (where relevant). Once with us, you will develop skills, confidence and understanding of learning, teaching and assessment in your subject.
