If you have been teaching for 6 years......I can't see any of these will help.....but I guess you still need a piece of paper.

Yes I need the piece of paper unfortunately but also I would like a qualification to help me develop as a teacher as if I pay money to study I want it to help and not just qualify me.  Thanks

Hi everyone

I have been living in Thailand for 6 years now and I now require to get a Teachers Licence if I wish to continue teaching in Thailand so therefore I am planning to study for either a PGCEi, PGCE, or MEd qualification. 

I do require to study in order to get my Teaching Licence however, I would also like to do a course which will really help me develop as a teacher and not merely,  receive a piece of paper to say I am qualified, as from my teaching experience, you are left to your own devices and there is no support or guidance from schools to grow as a teacher.

Also, I am an Early Years Teacher and I know most UK courses focus on 5 years and up so I am swaying towards an early years focused course.

I have narrowed it down to 3 options:-

1) University of West of Scotland - MEd Early Years

https://www.uws.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/postgraduate-course-search/early-years/

This is a 3 year course (which I would love to do if I enjoy and I can afford it!) but you can exit after one year with a PGCE Early Years.

2) IPGCE - University of Derby

https://www.derby.ac.uk/online/education-courses/ipgce-online/

This is a cheaper option than other universities and from what I have read a IPGCE is an IPGCE .  However, I have heard mixed reviews about this qualification in terms of development and I have heard it more or less just offers you the qualification.  If anyone can offer any advice on how good this course and how it compares to the other IPGCE options such as Nottingham, Keale, Sunderland, TES?

3) International Early Years PGCE  - UWE Bristol

https://courses.uwe.ac.uk/X71A6/international-early-years#coursecontent

I just found this course online today so if anyone knows anything about this course I would love your feedback?

Overall, I would just appreciate anyone's expertise or guidance as to which course would allow me to develop as a teacher most, a course that is internationally recognised (not just Thailand) and also be early years focused.

Thanks a lot

Angela
