Teaching and what qualification is best?

[tinkywinky]

Hi I want to do a teaching certificate but aren't sure which is best. Can anyone help?

I'm a single parent of two under 5 so can't really put the effort into a PGCE as is required. Plus I have to work and run a house, I just can't physically do a PGCE until they are older.

Any info would be appreciated. Thank you

hiya, i suggest that you try to get onto a pttlls (prepairing to teach in the life long learning sector) course which i think runs for a number of weeks which alter from college to college. where abouts in yorkshire are you?
they are running this course at joseph preistley college in morley. http://www.joseph-priestley.ac.uk/Courses/Departments/Teaching/CityAndGuilds7303.pdf

Thanks I am going to look into this further, have already enquired about the 7303. It's all very exciting!
