There are many reasons why people never forget
their favourite teachers – it might be that they
were extra caring, they were funny, or they had
a special knack for getting you to learn things.
It’s our aim to transform you into that teacher.
At Margaret McMillan School of Education,
we offer a route into teaching for everybody.
No matter what your qualifications are, we have
a teacher training course for you.
If you want to teach primary school children,
our BA (Hons) in Primary Education with QTS
is a unique choice; not only will you earn an
undergraduate degree in education, but you will
also gain your Qualified Teaching Status (QTS).
You might already have a degree in a particular
subject and now want to teach it. That’s where a
postgraduate certificate or diploma in education
comes in handy.
You can study for a Postgraduate Certificate
(PGCE) in Primary Education or Postgraduate
Certificate (PGCE) in Secondary Education
depending on which age level you want to
teach. If you wish to teach a particular subject
at secondary level but don’t have a Level 3
qualification in that subject, you will need to take
a Subject Knowledge Enhancement course first.
All our postgraduate courses come with QTS
upon successful completion.
Our Certificate in Education and Training and
Postgraduate Diploma in Education and Training
are qualifications designed for those who wish
to teach in post-secondary settings such as
FE colleges, the community and universities.
There is the option with these two qualifications
to specialise in teaching Maths, English or
English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL).
And if you are a university level degree holder
who is teaching at a school in England with
considerable school-based experience but
no postgraduate qualification, we offer a
QTS Assessment-Only programme.

“I was previously doing supply Teaching Assistant
work. This course has equipped me with everything I
needed to become a good teacher. The feedback I’ve
got from my colleagues has been really good so I’m
glad I did this course.”
