Empowering Global Educators: Why complete the PGCE iQTS Programme at the University of Sunderland?

This webinar introduces the University of Sunderland’s PGCE with International Qualified Teacher Status (iQTS) – a cutting-edge, DfE-accredited teacher training programme designed specifically for aspiring international educators. iQTS offers a unique opportunity for trainees to gain a UK-recognised teaching qualification without relocating, making it an ideal choice for COBIS schools seeking to enhance the quality and consistency of professional development among their staff. We will explore how the programme combines rigorous academic study with supported teaching practice in international settings, ensuring that trainees not only meet the Teachers’ Standards but also understand how to deliver high-quality, inclusive education across diverse cultural contexts. Attendees will gain insights into how the University of Sunderland supports schools and mentors, maintains robust quality assurance, and promotes reflective, evidence-informed teaching practice. Join us to learn how the PGCE iQTS is equipping educators around the world with the skills, knowledge, and recognition they need to thrive in international classrooms – and how COBIS schools can become key partners in shaping the next generation of global teachers.
