Too late for PGCE?

Barlett · 2009-06-10 10:11:30

I'm going doing Primary teaching. For a variety of reasons I'm only applying now - I figure I'll be too late to start this September as all the mainstream courses are full. But can I apply anyway? Is there any hope I'd get lucky? Would I be entered into this clearing process the GTTR website talks about? Thanks for any…

Late reply I know, but yes, you are too late unfortunately. I don't think you can apply anyway now, but I would advise you not to, its a long application, and to do it justice at all, you would need at least a full day, if not 2 to go through things like a good personal statement.... imo it is a waste of time and money. Apply to do it here next year, it will also save you the cost of converting your qualification (sometimes 200euro!!) when you come back.
