Education: Postgraduate Certificate in Advanced Educational Practice - 2012 entry

PGCert


Overview

The PGCAEP programme contains a variety of course units (also referred to as modules), rated at master's level, that can be combined to achieve a Postgraduate Certificate in Advanced Educational Practice (3 units) or can build to an MA in Education or an MA in Childhood Studies.

All courses draw on your professional background, experience and knowledge and provide opportunities to carry out assignments embedded in your own working context.

There are also opportunities for developing bespoke school-based programmes.

Courses include Working with Children with Literacy Difficulties, the Advanced Early Years Specialism, Leadership and Management, E-pedagogy, the Artist teacher scheme and the National Award for SENCO Co-ordination.
