Who Is This Course For?
Experienced Tutors
Aspiring Tutors
Qualified Teachers
The Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Tutoring (PGCert) is ideal for both new and experienced tutors, whether or not they hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). For new tutors, it builds essential skills, professional credibility, and confidence. Experienced tutors benefit from advanced pedagogical insights, career progression, and greater earning potential. Those without QTS gain structured training tailored to tutoring, while qualified teachers refine their one-to-one teaching strategies and transition smoothly into tutoring. With flexible learning, practical application, and strong professional recognition, the PGCert enhances expertise, deepens impact, and supports career growth in a rapidly evolving educational landscape.
Finally, Qualified Tutor does what it says on the tin!
For too long, professional tutoring has lacked the recognition and status it deserves. But now, with the introduction of a Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Tutoring (PGCert), tutors finally have an opportunity to gain a formal qualification that validates their expertise, enhances their skills, and strengthens their professional standing.

What Tutors are saying about the PGCPT
As a teacher who had to learn how to run a business when I left the classroom to become a full-time tutor, I think it’s great that the Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Tutoring provides not just recognition but also essential guidance on business, marketing, and the skills needed to thrive. Learning alongside other tutors, with access to university resources, makes this a powerful step in professional growth.
