Yeah Paully you are right there. I should look at some other Universities outside London.

I guess it doesn't matter where you the pgce from as long as you get!

Thanx for all the advice. I think it would be quite a good idea to do a years teaching in the UK after completing my pgce. That is if I can hold back from a quick return to the LOS after the pgce year.

I am thinking about University of East London by the way. Anyone any experience with this place?

Cheers.:jap:

Thank you Scott!

Wise words.

Not here for a grammar suggestion Jimbo. I typed this in haste and made a few mistakes. So What?

If you have any worthwhile info. to post, then you are more than welcome. However if this is your sole contribution then you should find somewhere else to post your irrelevant rumblings.

Hello all. I have returned home to Ireland from Thailand recently and am considering applying for the PGCE in primary education in the U.K for 2011 acceptance. Having spent 5 years teaching in a Bilingual school in Bangkok I have taken the plunge and returned home to get my teacher qualifications. Has anyone on this forum done the same. Which universitys did you choose. Which would you recommend? {I have a 2.2 degree] How did it go for you? Did you return to Thailand to teach after completing the course? Was it easy {or otherwise} to find a decent job at an international schhol in Thailand after you finished your pgce year? Or should I spend a few years working in the U.K to gain qts.

P.S. My main objective for doing the pgce is to attain a decent International School Job in Thailand.

Any Reply would be highly appreciated.

Regards,

Aridion.

One of the usual requirements at the beginning of the paperwork mill is a medical certificate which basically says your health is sufficient for your work- most small clinic doctors will charge you 50B or 100B for one, and the exam is basically looking at you superficially and inquiring after your health- in other words, a formality.

If they want something more in-depth, there may be some concern either about you personally or about some group of teachers in your school as a whole. Perhaps one of the staff developed a high-risk disease like tuberculosis?

They want everyone to do it. No teacher has had any medical problem.

i am currently working in a thai school. I have been working here for nearly 3 years already. They now want me to get a full medical test. As i am working through an agency i thought this a bit strange.

Is it legal, compulsory?

THANX IN ADVANCE FOR ANY RESPONSES
