Course summary

The IQTS with PGCE is a 60-credit, level 7, online, part-time programme. It enables you to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) alongside PGCE credits. The modules cover subject pedagogy, the theory and practice of teaching primary subjects, and professional identity. You'll study with academic and professional experts at the University of Derby and collaborate with peers in the international teaching profession. In 2022, the Department for Education (DfE) appointed the University of Derby as one of only six accredited providers for the new International Qualified Teacher Status (iQTS) Initial Teacher Training (ITT) programme / qualification. iQTS is a UK government-backed international teaching qualification, recognised by the DfE, as equivalent to English Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), meaning that anyone who is awarded the iQTS qualification by an accredited ITT provider, will automatically be awarded QTS through the DfE.

This iQTS course is for trainee teachers of primary education ages 3-11 years.
