Our PGCE with iQTS: SEND is a specialised teacher training programme designed for aspiring educators working, or on placement, in schools outside of England who want to develop expertise in inclusive education.
This internationally recognised qualification prepares you to meet the growing global demand for skilled professionals who can effectively support learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
Combining academic study with real-world teaching experience, the course aims to equip you with the knowledge and practical tools to create inclusive learning environments. You’ll explore the complexities of SEND, learn to apply evidence-based strategies, and adapt your approach to suit the needs of diverse learners in your local context.
Grounded in the latest research and educational practices, the programme empowers you to make a meaningful impact on pupil outcomes and progress, no matter where in the world you teach.
This course is ideal for individuals, based in schools outside of England, who are passionate about creating inclusive learning environments. It is ideal for recent graduates, individuals looking to change their career, or current educators looking to specialise in SEND.
There are two theoretical modules of study and three Professional Practice modules, enabling you to put pedagogy into practice and problem-solve in the classroom.
We regularly review our course content, to make it relevant and current for the benefit of our students. For these reasons, course modules may be updated.
