You must be prepared to study at postgraduate level. This usually means holding a bachelors degree - whether from a UK university or from one outside the UK - or its equivalent.
All teaching is in English, and your proficiency in the language needs to be adequate for postgraduate study and for contributing to online discussions by text and voice. If English is not your first language, we strongly recommend that you make sure you can achieve a score of at least seven in the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). To assess your English Language skills in relation to your proposed studies, you can visit the IELTS website.
Although experience of distance education may be an advantage, it is not essential.
If you are not sure whether your qualifications and experience are suitable, please do not hesitate to contact us for advice.
How long it takes
Most students study the Postgraduate Certificate in Online Teaching part-time, completing 60 credits over one year. Typically, this means 18 study hours each week.
