Common questions

What is the iPGCE?

The International Postgraduate Certificate in Education is a postgraduate teaching qualification designed for educators working in international schools. It is widely recognised by international schools as evidence of formal teaching training.

Do I need to be teaching already?

No. The form asks whether you are currently in full-time teaching employment because it affects the guidance we give you — but applications are welcome either way.

Can I study while I teach full time?

Yes. The programme is delivered online so you can work through it around your school timetable. Our community groups exist largely to help people manage exactly that.

What does it cost?

Course fees are set by the university. Teachola referrals receive an exclusive discount — tell us on the form and we will send you the current fee and the reduction you qualify for.

When can I start?

There are intakes in January, May and October. Choose your preferred intake on the form and we will confirm the deadline for it.

Is this the same as a PGCE?

An iPGCE is the international route and is aimed at teachers working in international schools. If you are unsure which is right for you, say so in the comments and we will talk it through honestly.
