I chose Red Dragon Education because I wanted expert guidance through the QTS/AOR process and to make sure I approached each stage correctly. Their support made the whole process much smoother and gave me confidence that I was on the right track. 

Despite being busy, John was extremely helpful throughout (especially when you schedule a call with him!)—responsive, knowledgeable, practical, and always clear about what I needed to do next. I genuinely have very little to suggest in terms of additional support. The guidance I received was exactly what I needed—100% recommended and absolutely worth going through Red Dragon rather than trying to navigate the process alone.

I decided to take the course because I wanted to gain a formal teaching qualification that would strengthen my position as an international school teacher and support my long-term career goals. 

I hoped it would deepen my understanding of educational theory and practice while providing a recognised qualification to help me progress within international education. I found the course valuable and would recommend it to other teachers, particularly those working full-time who need a flexible route to gaining a qualification. 

John was a great help throughout the process and provided excellent support when I needed it.

After 20+ years in international education, I wanted to formalise my experience with UK-recognised qualifications that are highly valued in UK school settings and international schools worldwide. The PGCE and QTS were the ideal pathway for my career goals, and John at Red Dragon Education made the entire journey possible. He guided me through every step of the application process and paperwork, turning what could have been overwhelming into something smooth and stress-free. 

Thanks to his support, I successfully achieved both my PGCE and QTS, and I am now about to begin my MA in Education – also under Red Dragon's wings. John's expertise, patience, and genuine care for the people he supports are second to none. 

I honestly don't think I could have done it without him. I would 100% recommend Red Dragon Education to anyone serious about advancing their career in international education. They are, without question, the finest in their field.

I have completed my PGCE. I will graduate at the end of November. I would like to send my gratitude to you for the help you provided with my application and for the final push to do the course after three or four years of me wanting to do a PGCE but not making the application.

Throughout my studies, the University has been extremely supportive, providing valuable guidance and resources that have contributed positively to both my academic and professional development.

I was motivated to take the MA Transformative Education and PGCE through Leeds Beckett University because I wanted to develop my academic understanding of education alongside my practical teaching skills. The course aligned closely with my career goals by preparing me to become a confident, reflective and inclusive teacher, while allowing me to continue my professional development through flexible online study. 

When I enrolled, I hoped to gain the knowledge, confidence and qualifications needed to progress into teaching, and to understand how education can transform learners’ lives. The course has helped me connect educational theory with classroom practice and has supported my personal and professional growth. 

Overall, the resources and guidance were very helpful, although additional assignment examples, informal discussion opportunities and further advice on managing the workload could be beneficial. The support from the course team has been excellent, particularly from Meri, Steve and Fiona, who have been amazing throughout the programme. 

Their encouragement, expertise and willingness to help have made a significant difference to my experience. I would definitely recommend this course to others because it offers a valuable combination of academic study, professional development and practical teaching experience, supported by a flexible online format and a dedicated team.

What motivated you to take the course, and how did it align with your career goals?
I wanted to become a fully qualified teacher and open up more career opportunities, both now and in the future.

When you enrolled, what did you hope the course would help you achieve?
My main goal was to gain a recognised teaching qualification and strengthen my professional status.

Were there any areas where you felt additional support or resources were needed?
I would have appreciated clearer guidance about each stage of the course, including what was required and when.

Would you recommend this course to others?
Yes. I would recommend it to teachers who want to gain a recognised qualification and improve their career prospects.

The PGCE took away the guesswork and provided me with a clear path to follow. Each stage felt attainable thanks to the steady and well-organized guidance. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to build their skills with confidence.

Upon enrolling in the iPGCE programme, my objective was to refine my teaching practice and attain a qualification to open doors to more advanced teaching positions. Having searched for an online PGCE course for some time, I found that they offered the perfect fit for my situation. The iPGCE course was tailored impeccably to suit my needs. Despite a busy schedule, the workload was manageable. The flexibility of weekly participation and the tutors' understanding made the course highly beneficial for me. 

My learning journey through the three modules was incredibly enriching, allowing me to integrate new concepts into my daily practice and acquire vital skills through research and engagement with the course material. 

The course has been a rewarding experience from start to finish, with unwavering support at every step. Their iPGCE has proven to be an excellent platform for professional and personal growth.

Loved the support we got to join the course.
