The PGCE Top-up course enables you to achieve the academic award of Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) if you have already successfully gained QTS through the Graduate Teacher Programme, School Direct or similar. This PGCE is accredited by the General Teaching Council Scotland which means on successful completion you will have met the requirement to be eligible to apply for registration as a teacher in Scotland.
If you are interested in doing this, information about the rest of the requirements for registration can be found on the GTCS website. In addition, QTS holders in the UK and internationally will benefit from this one year programme, designed to meet the needs of practicing teachers and increase your employability around the world.

Dr Eunice Lumsden Associate Professor and Subject Leader for Childhood Youth and Families
Eunice has a professional background in social work, child advocacy, policy and workforce development.
Most PGCE top-up students will already be professional teachers, however this qualification will allow you to teach in other countries, subject to their own regulations, and opens up opportunities for career progression such as leadership and management.
We would encourage you to check visa requirements if you are intending to use the course to enable you to teach in a different country.
"As an experienced teacher the course allowed me to reflect on my practice in a really proactive way."
