    Hello,

    I have been trying to get into Secondary Teaching for the past two years. I have an unrelated undergraduate but I have acquired teaching modules since to meet the minimum standard for a PME according to the Teaching Council.

    As I’m finding it hard to find a place on the subject I am interested in studying I’ve contemplated going abroad (I.e. UK) to study a PGCE. I know a PGCE requires one year experience to be recognised by the TC back in Ireland. I’ve now noticed that Portobello Institute are now running a PGCE here in Ireland does anybody know if this would be an acceptable course by the TC? Would I still need to go to the UK for teaching experience as it’s awarded by a UK University? Appreciate the feedback and help on the matter 😊

    Which subject(s) are you hoping to teach? Induction (NQT year) is now 2 years in England so it'll be a 3 year commitment - 1 year PGCE + 2 years induction. You can get a tax free bursary for certain subjects in England and you're qualified after a year.

    Ok, thanks for that. I was hoping to do PE and/or second subject

    Ah ok, I don't think there is a bursary for PE so you may be better to do it here as you could sub / superintend / possibly correct during the PME.

    If you only have PE, I would add an in demand second subject, Irish, a foreign language, Maths, etc.

    Best of luck with it!
