Derby's IQTS with PGCE is a 60-credit, level 7, online, part-time programme. It enables you to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) alongside PGCE credits. The modules cover subject pedagogy, the theory and practice of teaching primary subjects, and professional identity. You'll study with academic and professional experts at the University of Derby and collaborate with peers in the international teaching profession.
iQTS is a UK government-backed international teaching qualification, recognised by the DfE, as equivalent to English Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), meaning that anyone who is awarded the iQTS qualification by an accredited ITT provider, will automatically be awarded QTS through the DfE.
iQTS for Primary Education
This iQTS course is for trainee teachers of primary education ages 3-11 years.
You will undertake assessed placements in your local schools and will be supported for the duration of the course by a trained mentor from your school setting. Depending on your preference and any prior experience, you can choose to specialise, via your placements, in teaching 3- to 7-year-olds or 5- to 11-year-olds.
Whichever route you choose, your award will be the same; however, your placements, undertaken in host schools sourced by yourself, will be appropriate to your chosen route to help you advance your teaching and learning skills in specific areas.
Programme structure
The iQTS with PGCE course consists of one 40 credit module and one 20 credit module, both at level 7, and three zero credit modules at level 6.
