    Yeah i working my way into it.

    First off you need to do Higher Cert in Computing which is 2 year full time Course you be looking at around 3 and a half years part time. Once you get that you then can go into Computing in Education thats a 1 year full time Course the last time i check, then you can go into the Diploma which is another 2 years so if your doing it part time

    6 years if taking min 4 module a Sem..

    im sorry if i put you off. it, but I must Re-correct my Last Comment.

    Yes you must do Higher Cert in Computers which has 4 Semesters with 6 Modules in Each or at least three years teaching experience

    Then after that you can go into Postgraduate Diploma in Computing in Education. which has 2 Semesters with 6 modules in each,

    then you have yours Masters in Computing in Education

    with 2 Semesters with 6 modules in Semester 1 and 4 modules in Semester 2.

    What are you looking to do?

    if you want some thing with Computers i would say why not try Cert in Media Production.

    2 Semesters with 2 modules each

    Semester 1
    Introduction to Video
    Design for print

    Semester 2
    Digital Imaging
    Web Design & Interactive Media

    No you didn't put me off, decided a few weeks ago not to do it. My IT knowledge is quite limited.I am hoping to do a PGCE in England, business education. So the IT course is like plan B if I don't get a PGCE course this year. The Cert in Media Production looks interesting, I will look into it. That would benefit me if I end up teaching business and maybe ICT in England. Just waiting to hear from a Uni for a PGCE at the moment. Thanks for your help and information.
