Studying on the PGDE (Secondary) Gaelic course is a rewarding and absorbing experience. As a teacher of Gaelic, you’ll be responsible for educating and engaging the next generation as they develop their skills and fluency in Gaelic. Successful completion of this course will qualify students to enter into the Gaelic teaching profession, where there is currently a shortage of skilled teachers.

You'll spend 18 weeks of the course on placement in a school within Scotland. You'll be continually assessed while there to show you meet the requirements for the Standards for Provisional Registration.
