Your teaching journey starts here
Congratulations on being invited to attend a PGCE Secondary Interview at the Centre for Teacher Education, University of Warwick. We look forward to meeting you!
We've put together an introductory video so you can find out more about us and why you should come and train to be a teacher with us at the University of Warwick.
At Warwick, we support you every step of your teaching journey, from application to course completion.
Please read the information below thoroughly to prepare for your interview day
Be sure to review the tab relevant to your interview format (Online or In Person)
For home-identified candidates, your DBS will be processed through First Advantage. Once an applicant has accepted an offer, your details will be forwarded to First Advantage and you will be contacted by them asking you to complete the online application for DBS. Once this has been submitted, you will then be asked to attend a Post Office (where the service is available, usually a Post Office that can do Passport updates) to have your documentation verified and the fee paid, before being submitted to the DBS for the check to be completed. Please see here for full details on the process.
If you have signed up for the update service, following a previous check, we may be able to use this for the DBS check provided it meets the relevant levels as required (e.g. Enhanced DBS Check including the Children’s Barred List). If not you will need to complete a new check. Please check the Disclosures website for further information
If you have been resident overseas for 6 months or more in the past 5 years you will need to provide a Police Check/Certificate of Good Conduct from those countries to cover the duration of your time in that country.
For International candidates, you will be asked to send in the necessary documents for a DBS check at interview so that we can do a verification check with you during the interview day. These will then be passed to our Disclosure team when you accept any offer made following interview, we do the check as part of your interview to expedite the process.
