IIE Postgraduate Certificate in Education in Senior Phase and Further Education and Training Teaching

Overview

The IIE Postgraduate Certificate in Education in Senior Phase and Further Education and Training Teaching is a professional teaching qualification that seeks to 'cap' a suitable undergraduate Degree or an approved Diploma.

The purpose of this programme is to qualify students to follow a career in teaching in the Senior Phase (Grades 7-9) and Further Education and Training band (Grades 10-12). The IIE PGCE (Senior Phase and Further Education and Training) provides both a fundamental and comprehensive education underpinned by subject and pedagogic knowledge in specialized teaching in specific Senior Phase and Further Education and Training band subjects.

The programme focuses on foundational education theory and methodology and is therefore closely aligned with the requirements of a professionally qualified beginner teacher. (MRTEQ,2015). The qualification offers entry-level initial professional preparation for undergraduate Degree or Diploma holders who wish to develop focused knowledge and skills as classroom teachers in the Senior Phase (SP) and Further Education and Training (FET) band in their chosen subject(s).
