PGCert, PGCE, iQTS or PGCE with QTS — Which Qualification Should YOU Choose? 🇬🇧
Confused between PGCE, PGCE with QTS, iQTS, and PGCert? You're not alone — these UK teaching qualifications sound similar but lead to very different outcomes, costs, and career paths. In this video, I break down exactly what each one means, how they're assessed, and which one is actually the best route if you want to teach in the UK — especially if you're applying from Pakistan, India, or anywhere in the subcontinent. I'll also cover what happens if you later want to teach in the US, Canada, or Australia.
Whether you're a science teacher, a fresh graduate, or an experienced teacher looking to move abroad, this video will save you hours of research and help you pick the right path with confidence.
