Course content
Our PGCE Secondary Business course prepares you to teach in the 14 – 19 age phase. There are two stages to your PGCE Secondary Business Studies course. For more information, visit our website
Business is fundamental to many aspects of our lives and although not all 14 -19 year-olds will go on to work in business, all require a deep understanding of business knowledge and skills to navigate the world we live in. Business teachers, in both the academic and vocational classroom and through extra-curricular activities, help prepare all students for life. Business is a subject that motivates and engages many students and you are in an excellent position to harness this enthusiasm, bringing the subject to life with well-chosen case studies that 'hook' students into learning.
The Leeds Trinity PGCE utilises the latest research to enable you to understand and develop the key and pedagogical knowledge and skills essential for excellent treaching and learning in business education enabling students to appreciate its importance and relevance to them. This is achieved through rigorous, subject-specific professional training.
All our PGCE Secondary courses lead to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and the award of a level 7 Postgraduate Certificate in Education.
