Course summary

Our Primary Professional Graduate Certificate in Education with Special Educational Needs pathway leads to the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), qualifying you to teach children aged five to 11 with disabilities.This course is suited to those who would prefer not to undertake the master’s-level academic work associated with a PGCE and who would prefer to focus solely on the practical elements of the course and achieving Qualified Teacher Status. This pathway will enable you to develop a deeper knowledge and understanding of working with children with disabilities, within mainstream and special school settings. You will undertake placements in mainstream schools with additional resources units, as well as special schools. Your tutors are internationally or nationally renowned experts, and their research regularly has a direct impact on school curricula and learning techniques, both in the UK and abroad. As experts in their field, their research also directly informs the focus and content of your course.
