Advice needed please!! Basically am currently studying for an OU degree (English) and by the end of this academic year should hopefully have only 2 modules left. Eventual goal is to apply for a PGCE hence why I'm posting in here. However I'm finding it nye on impossible to secure any kind of voluntary experience in a school, have sent various emails out and also asked in my own dc's school, but I keep getting brushed off! This has led me to think that If I undertook the level 3 TA diploma at my local college I could guarantee some kind of work experience, and also that having the level 3 might be an added boost for my PGCE application. However , i'm unsure if it's a bit crazy to pay out to spend a year studying for a level 3 qualification when i'm doing a degree?! Does anyone on here have any opinions /advice on this? I have nobody knowledgeable to ask IRL!
