PGCE facilities

Our facilities are fantastic for supporting teacher training. They enable you to run classroom sessions and do experiments in a safe space — so you know what to expect when you are on placement and can anticipate any issues with equipment or the lesson itself. Having a practical space purpose built to echo what you will find out in schools really helps you to develop your teaching style and skills as a teacher.

We have everything you may need on your Postgraduate Certificate in Education journey at Manchester Met in our purpose-built Brooks building. There are classrooms, studios and labs that have been designed specifically for your chosen specialism.

By training in an environment reflective of where you’ll work, you’ll gain the skills to lead a class. Practising classroom scenarios early in the course helps build your confidence ahead of your first placement.
