How hard is it to get onto a PGCE?

[pinkombreflowers]

I am due to graduate with a 2:1 undergraduate degree. I have worked with children in nurseries, schools, and nannying for just under ten years. I have a level 3 in early years childcare too, and do volunteering with Home Start and a children’s counselling charity.

I’m wondering how tricky it is to get accepted onto a PGCE - I am hoping to get onto a lower primary one. I’ve always wanted to be a primary school teacher, feeling quite nervous about applying for the PGCE soon! (any tips gratefully welcomed )

You sound like you have a great chance! I got accepted onto three School Direct PGCEs with less experience. Good luck.

Wow, you have loads of experience, they willbe lucky to have you on board.

We would bite your hand off!
Great experience to bring to your training year.

Fantastic, thank you for the replies! Feeling positive about applying now, fingers crossed
