Online Teacher Training & Quality Assurance Courses

PCt2U:
In 2001 the owner of PCt2U presented his ground breaking Internet College project to Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street this being to train childminders over distance online without the need to go to College. From this pioneering work in distance education at a time when we still had to dial up to the Internet to get a connection the owner of the company has spent the last twenty years delivering education along with technology as a lecturer in universities, as a teacher in schools and as an advisor to many major corporations including GE in the USA and Telecom Malaysia. You could say with someone of this calibre leading the company you are going to get the best out of your online and distance learning experiences.

In 2010 PCt2U was created by a professional teacher for new and aspiring teachers. PCt2U is now celebrating its 11th year as an NCFE (Ofqual) centre and as a learning provider delivering UK regulated qualifications to a standard that has seen PCt2U awarded direct claims status in recognition of its gold standard quality control procedures. In that time PCt2U have even become a supplier to the MOD through the ELCAS program for the UK’s armed forces and also a supplier to the  NHS training their staff across various departments. Other esteemed clients include News International and the UK Police Force and HMPS. For more information on how PCt2U can benefit you without the need to go to college or university contact us now to discuss your requirements.

The Moodle classroom model traditionally relies on you pre-loading your students with the course information required via online based materials and then by using active differentiation methods working with your learners to create an effective learning method for all your learners to engage with. This method is now being used in schools around the world to create more effective ways of teaching the different abilities of learners. 

Now with the advent of online learning technology we can change all this to ensure that all learners are included in the learning journey and succeed. At PCt2U we use the same principles with our learners using Moodle our students spend their time pre-reading and researching these aspects.

Further to this personalised support and mentoring is provided for each individual student according to their needs and an effective route to the practical sessions begins. 

Whilst we don’t expect our students to attend classes via a ‘pedagogic’ route as with most current state schools and colleges we do make the need for our students to engage with a tutor seriously via mentoring sessions and this further enhances our delivery model that is ‘andragogic’ in nature and that suits all our adult learners.

Teachers in UK Academies do not need to hold the PGCE as a legal requirement therefore they can take our Diploma in Education and Training course at Level 5 to 7 and be fully qualified as a teacher in UK schools .
