Primary teaching in scotland

Question

I want to apply for a post-grad primary teaching qualification in scotland, my question is, am i likley to be given consideration for the course if I have a pending higher english result (which I am taking as an evening class at college) at the time of interview?

Answer 1

If you are seeking to take a post grad course in teaching then you, presumably, have a degree?

If you have a degree, along with English and Maths then you may be considered for a post grad course. However, you need to check out the entrance requirements for the institution, to which you intend to apply.

In addition, to the requisite qualifications for a PGDE, then it will serve you well if you can show on your application that you have spent some time volunteering as a helper at a local primary, to demonstrate that you have an idea of what you are applying for, and have the comittment to stick with teaching.

Answer 2

They'll go on experience and your application form for the interview.  You'll then be offered a conditional offer if your successful which will just mean you have to get that to get on the course.

Good luck.
