Hey everyone,

im seeking clarification of how employable a holder of this is, and open up a discussion regarding the PGCE international qualification which can be achieved from nottingham uni and sunderland uni through distance learning.

In a nutshell, they advertise that it enables you to work at international school when completed....but QTS cannot be obtained with these distance learning courses. My understanding is that the "BIG" schools usually require qts....however I have heard that you can get in without qts sometimes. Does anyone know if this is true? Or if anyone has completed this course , could they shed some light on the schools they work in?

Just trying to weigh it up, should i bite the bullet, go to England , take out a big loan and get the qualification there and return to LOS....or pay for a distance learning pgce which i work out would cost me a quarter of what it would to study in the UK. Thanks
