pe teaching

[nat_84]

Does anyone have any experience or know where'd i start? I've got 3 A levels of which only English would be relevant to teaching! (The other two are media studies and DT). I've come across a course online called 'Sports Physiology Diploma' and i'm not sure whether it would be benficial to take this course. I know science plays a big part in PE so think my first step would be retaking my science GSCE (as i completely flopped back in school!)... Anyone have any advice on where to start or adivce any grants i could get to help me pay for these courses?! thanks in advance xxx

ive been PE teaching for two years (off sick today!) you will need Cs in science to get on to any degree course, none of my a levels were sport related so that doesnt necessarily matter, i did my degree in sports studies, then a PGCE a one year teaching qualification once you have a degree and you get 6000 pounds for doing it, in summary a sport related degree or a 4 year PE course which isnt funded- any other questions let me know or find me on facebook!

thanks toddy! i'll have plenty of questions for you!

so do you think the Sports Physiology Diploma would be worth doing or should i concentrate on retaking my science gcse?

can u get on the course without Cs in Science? you ill need them anyway, perhaps you could do both at the same time, GCSE science wont be that hard.

yeah true... good point!! Yeah i can get on that Diploma one without the Cs in Science as its an online course... WIll look at prices and see wether its worth doing both!
