John was amazing during my QTS journey. He made a really hard process feel so simple and clear. Every step of the way, he was super helpful and always there when needed. John didn't just give us advice, he gave us an easy plan to follow. Because of his great help, reaching our QTS goal was fast, smooth, and not stressful at all. I highly recommend John. Thank you so much for everything.

I was motivated to take the course because I wanted to strengthen my teaching qualifications and create a clear pathway towards becoming a fully qualified teacher. The programme aligned closely with my career goals by supporting me through my PGCE journey and helping me prepare for the next stage of completing my QTS, which I am still working towards. When I enrolled, I hoped the course would give me clearer guidance on the qualification process, help me understand the professional expectations of teaching, and support me in developing the evidence and experience needed to progress in my career. Overall, I found the support valuable, although I feel that more structured guidance around the QTS process, particularly the practical requirements and expectations for completing the route, would be helpful for candidates moving on to that stage. I would recommend the course to others who are serious about developing professionally as teachers and are looking for support in progressing towards recognised teaching qualifications.

I decided to take the course because I wanted to gain a formal teaching qualification that would strengthen my position as an international school teacher and support my long-term career goals. 


I hoped it would deepen my understanding of educational theory and practice while providing a recognised qualification to help me progress within international education. I found the course valuable and would recommend it to other teachers, particularly those working full-time who need a flexible route to gaining a qualification. 


John was a great help throughout the process and provided excellent support when I needed it.

I was motivated to take the MA Transformative Education and PGCE through Leeds Beckett University because I wanted to develop my academic understanding of education alongside my practical teaching skills. The course aligned closely with my career goals by preparing me to become a confident, reflective and inclusive teacher, while allowing me to continue my professional development through flexible online study. 


When I enrolled, I hoped to gain the knowledge, confidence and qualifications needed to progress into teaching, and to understand how education can transform learners’ lives. The course has helped me connect educational theory with classroom practice and has supported my personal and professional growth. 


Overall, the resources and guidance were very helpful, although additional assignment examples, informal discussion opportunities and further advice on managing the workload could be beneficial. The support from the course team has been excellent, particularly from Meri, Steve and Fiona, who have been amazing throughout the programme. 


Their encouragement, expertise and willingness to help have made a significant difference to my experience. I would definitely recommend this course to others because it offers a valuable combination of academic study, professional development and practical teaching experience, supported by a flexible online format and a dedicated team.

Upon enrolling in the iPGCE programme, my objective was to refine my teaching practice and attain a qualification to open doors to more advanced teaching positions. Having searched for an online PGCE course for some time, I found that they offered the perfect fit for my situation. The iPGCE course was tailored impeccably to suit my needs. Despite a busy schedule, the workload was manageable. The flexibility of weekly participation and the tutors' understanding made the course highly beneficial for me. 


My learning journey through the three modules was incredibly enriching, allowing me to integrate new concepts into my daily practice and acquire vital skills through research and engagement with the course material. 


The course has been a rewarding experience from start to finish, with unwavering support at every step. Their iPGCE has proven to be an excellent platform for professional and personal growth.

I'm delighted to share that the PGCE program at the University has been enriching so far. The course is thoughtfully designed, immersing us in a wide range of educational theories and diverse perspectives that consistently challenge and expand our understanding of teaching and learning. I truly appreciate the numerous opportunities to debate ideas and apply our learning in dynamic settings. The experience has been both intellectually stimulating and deeply fulfilling. Somehow, it feels like this is just the tip of the iceberg—I'm excited to delve even deeper as the course unfolds.
