    I am hoping to apply to Pats to do the 18 month postgraduate course, IF its giong ahead at all.

    I suppose the budget next week will determine what is happening.

    What are people's thoughts on it? Are many of you applying?

    The post-grad is going ahead, according to the Pat's website.

    Application info is on the Pats website too.

    Good luck with it!

    was looking to do this and was wondering does anyone know whether or not it would be more advatageous to get a masters in classics first and then apply or would i be just wasting my time and money?

    I would apply for the teaching Post Grad as this may be the last year as there are lots of Primary Teachers who have not got jobs this year. There are people in Mary I and Pats who will be coming out in the next few years so there won't be any shortage of teachers, that was the reason the course was started in the first place.

    But if there are lots of teachers who havent got jobs, then why would one apply for a masters in this area (given that all things being equal those that are already in the system would get posts before the newbies?)

    If you really want to do Primary teaching you would be prepared to take the chance and do the 18 months course. No one knows whats down the line, lots of teachers may retire early, or you could just be in the right place and the right time and get a job!
