“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”
John Dewey (1951)

We offer a two year flexible Professional Diploma in Education (PDE) for those who already hold an undergraduate degree and who wish to obtain a recognised qualification for second-level teaching. It addresses the need for a flexible teacher training qualification for unqualified people, who want to work in second-level schools but who are not in a position to engage in a full-time programme of study.

This programme is now closed to new applications. We do not accept late applications.

Programme Chair: Dr James O'Higgins-Norman
Director of Teaching Practice: Dr Brendan Walsh
