Hi Reenie,

Yeah I have tried the normal PGCE route and the GTP/School Direct Scheme. Unforunately I am starting to believe that because of my 3rd it isn't going to happen. If anybody can shine a light on gaining entry into an F.E enviornment that'd be great.

Thank You

Hi People,

Thank you for the replies they have been very helpful.

With regards to taking a second degree I would be willing to do this but would I be able to get funding for a second degree ... I have been told you can only get funded for one undergraduate programme?

For some crazy reason teaching is the only thing I can see myself doing and the placement I am in at the moment I cannot see one negative area to the job however I have been told about corruption and politics within the education sector.

Would I stand a better chance at lecturing in a F.E environment rather than Secondary P.E??

Thank you again for the replies

Any advice how to get onto a PGCE course in P.E with a third class degree?

I have been employed as a sports coach since 2007 working in various schools and took 2 months work placement in my final year of a degree teaching sport in a secondary school. I am now completing DTTLS alongside teachig hours in a school in order to boost my chances but have just been declined from school direct due to my grades (3rd).

I have also even looked at completing another degree but due to finance issues and the fees shooting up this year it doesn't seem like its going to happen!

Do I really need to look for a different career or is there still hope?
