Further Education and Training (FET)

Student teachers receive individual attention and support. We are known to produce very productive teachers who enhance the image of CPUT. The educators in the Department of FET are highly qualified with a wide repertoire of expertise.
Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE: FET) programme is a professional level 6 qualification for FET Teachers (Schools & Colleges). This qualification is also housed in the FET department and it provides professional status to teachers/ learners who do not have a teaching qualification.
POSTGRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN EDUCATION (PGCE)
Find the requirements for the various teaching specialisations (school subjects) under PGCE in the Faculty Calendar.) The PCGE focuses on the training of high school teachers, specifically for the Further Education and Training Phase (FET).
The Faculty encourages you strongly to take at least two teaching modules; you will improve your career prospects significantly should you be able to teach two school subjects instead of one. However, if you meet the requirements of only one teaching module, this subject area has to be a major in your undergraduate or honours degree. In addition, you have to take the 20-credit Advanced Study module of your specific subject speciality.
All prospective students who apply for the PGCE, have to complete two weeks of observation at the beginning of the school year before they will be allowed to register for this programme. All relevant documents will be made available to prospective students before the end of the preceding year.
