Postgraduate Certificate in Education

If you completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Education then your previous study may be eligible for an award of credit transfer.

If your PGCE was credit rated by the institution that you studied with we will use their credit rating to determine the maximum credit your qualification can be considered for. Details of the credits can usually be found on your academic transcript or academic record.

We can normally consider a completed PGCE that does not carry a credit rating for an award of up to 120 credits at Level 2.*

*If you are applying for credit transfer towards the BA/BSc Open degree (QD) we will award the credit towards level 1 as level 1 has to be completed before you move onto level 2.

Evidence you will need to provide

With your application you will need to provide evidence of having completed the qualification in the form of an academic transcript or academic record which shows the individual units or modules that you completed, the grades achieved and credits awarded.
