    I'm wondering if it is ok that my teaching experience is from three different schools? There is space on page 2 of the PGDE application form to tick your number of hours, but there is only one space for a school principal to sign this. Here is what the application form looks like:

    My 57 hours come from three different schools, can one principal sign for them all?

    Hi

    Would not worry too much about it, I had something similar and one of the Principals I worked for didn't sign the form. If NUI have any problems with the form they will make a quick call to the school and check with the principal.

    If you only need 50 hours, just ask your current Principal to sign off on it. We have a sub this yr who has done bout 80 hours but needs 250 by December 1st. The Principal here is gonna sign off on that for her.

    Yo can always write "On separate sheet attached" in the box and then complete your list of schools on a separate sheet to include with your application.

    wow, wish a principal would do that for me! i rang the postgrad applications centre, they said I will have to hand up a hardcopy detailing my hours. But I didn't see this mentioned anywhere, it's not mentioned under "supporting documents" in number 8 here..... http://www.pac.ie/faq.php?inst=pe

    Hi Daisyperm,
    I am applying for the PGDE too. I've also got over 50 teaching hours experience. I'm a little confused about the above comments. 1. Where on the online PAC form do we get the principal to sign? 2. Do we have to get written letter from school or will payslips do?
    Thanks

    Sorry I read the application wrong, there is a place on page two for us to write the name of the principal, I thought this was for the principal to sign but it's not. I rang up and they said we will have to provide a hard copy detailing our hours. I'm not sure what this is exactly, because it's not mentioned under the list of supporting documents we need to send in. Anyway, I don't think we need payslips, all my hours have been voluntary. Probably need a letter from the principal.
