In Ireland or the West coast of the UK, where would someone study to be a primary teacher? See details?

Question

Either part time or via distance learning? A friend of mine wants to be a primary teacher.

Answer 1

You could look at Aberitzwith (Not sure exactly how it is spelt) in Wales. It offers a really good postgrad course in teaching

St. Patrick's College in Drumcondra is an excellent course provider.

Answer 2

You could try the Marino Institute of Education in Drumcondra, Dublin - I think they have some fairly flexible courses for primary teaching.  Does your friend have a primary degree already? If she does, then the PGCE courses only last nine to ten months and are available in the Marino Institute.  

Mary Immaculate College in Limerick also offers part time courses for postgrads in Education.

Answer 3

Mary Immaculate offers Primary School teaching courses as undergraduate courses as well - you need to pass an interview & the points for the course tend to be quite high.
