Equivalency Testing

What is Equivalency Testing?

Equivalency Testing is designed for applicants to professional training courses who have previously sat GCSE examinations but narrowly missed out on achieving a grade C/level 4 in English, Maths, or Science.

You can sit GCSE Equivalency Tests if you:

have been directed to do so by the initial teacher training provider with whom you have an offer of a PGCE place
plan to commence your training in September 2024.

Please note that training providers do not automatically accept Equivalency Tests set by other providers. Therefore, acceptance of the tests for entry to a teacher training course is only guaranteed by the initial teacher training provider.

Our main priority is to offer clear support and guidance to help with the understandable stress of taking any of the Equivalency Tests. Taking these tests are a positive opportunity to realise your ambitions to become a fully qualified, professional teacher.

“Nigel is absolutely amazing, he is so supportive and a great teacher. I don’t think I have learnt this much whilst I was at school or college, I never had any confidence in Maths but I feel the way Nigel has taught us, I have gained confidence and believing that I can do it. He has been great!! ”
