Administration and Minor in History from Erskine College, a highly respected liberal arts college in South Carolina.

TEACHING AS OPPOSED TO ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING QUALIFICATIONS
| Q. What is "PGDE or equivalent" and how does it differ from TESL/TEFL qualifications? I recently saw this in a job advertised for Hong Kong. They were very specific about this. I have the 4 week Cert TESOL and the 6 month Grad Cert in Education (TESOL) and working my way to a Masters in Education (TESOL) in Australia. Is it just a difference in terminology or do you think they meant just something other than the 4 week RSA/Celta/TESOL type course?
A. I imagine the advertisement was referring to a Post Graduate Diploma in Education. Both PGCEs (certificate) and PGDEs are principally 'teaching' qualifications as opposed to an English language teaching qualification, though there can be a TEFL/TESOL option as a 'major'. They are normally of one year's duration and can be considered to provide more of a basis on the principles of education than other TEFL/TESOL qualifications.
