You can become a college lecturer but not a primary or secondary school teacher without the relevant post grad teaching qualification (PGCE). I am a college lecturer with a HND but will be required to complete the PGCE qualification within 4 years of starting otherwise my position at the college will be reviewd. Your chances of becoming a lecturer in further education are increased by having alot of relevant experience in the field of the subject you teach.
You can use the letters PGCE.
A PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education) is a qualification that prepares graduates for a career in teaching, typically in the UK. It combines academic study with practical teaching experience and is often a requirement for obtaining Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). An A1 Assessor's Award is a qualification that enables individuals to assess vocational skills and qualifications in the workplace or training settings, focusing on assessing candidates' competence in their respective fields. Both qualifications are essential for those looking to establish a career in education and assessment.
A degree in the subject you want to teach, such as English, maths, or science, is most appropriate for a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education). Additionally, a degree in education or a related field can also be suitable for pursuing a PGCE.
The PGCE course is offered at 65 institutions in the UK and the full list can be found at the le.ac.uk website. You can also choose to study for a PGCE using distance learning provided by some universities.
A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) does not have a specific expiration date; it is considered a lifelong qualification. However, teachers are required to engage in ongoing professional development and may need to update their skills and knowledge regularly to maintain their teaching status and meet the requirements of their employer or regulatory body. Additionally, in some regions, teachers must achieve further qualifications or complete professional development to advance their careers.
If a science teacher does not have a degree or certificate in the subject area they teach, they might not have sufficient knowledge to adequately teach the class. In the United States, approximately 30 percent of high school chemistry teachers, for example, do not have a degree in chemistry.
