Become a Biology teacher and inspire pupils to embrace the natural sciences. Begin your training with a secondary education PGCE in science.
Our exciting Train to Teach Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) prepares you to become a secondary school teacher of science, specialising in Biology. You will focus on addressing the needs of pupils aged 11-19 and beyond, working with professionals from specialist science organisations such as the Royal Society of Biology. We also partner with the adventure learning charity Wide Horizons, who will support your training in the area of fieldwork, conservation, and ecology.
Throughout your time with us, you will enhance your teaching abilities, gaining valuable experience in catering to the requirements of secondary school students in Key Stages 3 and 4. Furthermore, you will expand your proficiency, hands-on knowledge, and theoretical comprehension of the field of science. As you approach the end of the program, you will undergo a formal evaluation based on the Teachers' Standards, ultimately earning Qualified Teacher Status* in addition to obtaining the PGCE qualification.
Our lectures delivered by experts in their field will help you widen your individual skills, expertise, and background knowledge in your subject specialism. We'll build on your natural flair, so you successfully engage with young students.
