The programme will combine on-campus sessions, self-study and placement work as set out in the schedule. On completing the course you will receive 250 points – with the opportunity to earn a further 160 with the recommended self-study kits.
Completing this programme will help support your application to PGCE and you will be able to demonstrate a full understanding of the role and skills required to be successful in these professions.

This activity is a Man Met Rise Pre-Graduate Scheme: Whilst conventional graduate schemes start when you finish University and secure a job, through Man Met Rise we make this kind of experience and training available to you before you leave us.
