ORIGINAL POST
Posted by qwerty123 16 yrs ago
i am currently working full time (not teaching) have done some one to one english teaching in the past - private tuitions and would like to get into teaching full time. Have a degree (not teaching related) from UK. anyone know about PGDE courses in hk - anyone done one - i see that if you do part time (which owuld be best as im working) you need to be a teacher already - anyone got round this issue?! which course is best and anything i should look out for? hoping ideally to teach kindergarton - hopefully in ESF schools eventually....

i'm currently taking my PGDE. I'm not a teacher but i got in. There would be some interviews and during the interview you can tell them your situation. But sooner or later you still need to get a teaching post. They will visit you in your class and observe.

talking of PGDE at the HKU, can someone please tell what the hours are like? i am looking to do the full time course to teach English but am unsure as to whether to take the course due to the hours.

i have two small children and probably won't want to be doing 9 months of lectures 5 days a week, from 9 - 5!

any idea on the time involved would be greatly appreciated

I'm in a similar situation to squiggles...... I've just been accepted at the HKU to study the PGDE, but need to consider the hours before accepting. I have a young child too. I want to do the full-time course, but I'm really concerned about the hours I'll be expected to put in. Anyone else managed to do the full-time course, and be a reasonably responsible parent too??

Hello urssweety, did you ever get any answers to your questions? In particular, have you received any information regarding the interview and what is involved?


Thanks.
