Primary and Early Years interviews are conducted in groups. Secondary interviews are made up of subject group and one-to-one interview sessions.
You’ll be expected to carry out tasks in preparation for and during your interview. You’ll be notified of any requirements prior to interview. - Subject Knowledge Enhancement courses (Secondary only)
Entry to some PGCE programmes is conditional upon completion of a Subject Knowledge Enhancement course. These courses run in the year prior to the PGCE programme.
