Has anyone done a pgce to retrain as a teacher? I am just wondering if anyone ca. describe to me what it entails? Is it full days in university or some time at home studying? Also the placements, are these normally 5day a week placements? Would anyone mind sharing their experience with me? I am just reconsidering my career and wondering if doing a pgce is achieveable for me. I have children but youngest is now 10.

Extremely full on.
So much so that I fell asleep after one placement day holding a cup of tea and burned myself.

Extremely. I scalded myself by falling asleep holding a cup of tea when I got home one day!
