Educators who already have subject matter qualifications & expertise within their academic discipline, but do not hold a formal teaching qualification, need either a PgCTL* or B.Ed. to be a qualified teacher.

PgCTL* provides you with the knowledge, skills and competencies to teach the 21st century learners with the latest technology and practical strategies.

PgCTL* is a professional degree with a heavy focus on practical learning, while B.Ed. is an academic degree with high-focus on theory.

Particularly in India, B.Ed. is awaiting a new curriculum by 2022, while PgCTL* is already approved as a futuristic degree by international government bodies. So investing in B.Ed, will require you to upskill yourself again after 2 years.

PgCTL* is delivered by our instructors on our learning apps in live and recorded classes which you can watch on-the-go, while B.Ed will require you to study from heavy books with decades-old theories.

A critical difference for you to consider is the time saved, PgCTL* is a fast 10-month study program, while a B.Ed. will take you 2-years to complete. PgCTL* fits into a teacher’s commitments & busy schedule. It has lessons you can apply in your classrooms the same day you learn them on the app.

Most importantly, a B.Ed. will be recognized only in one geography, while PgCTL* is recognized internationally, giving you the wings and license to work anywhere you want.

The benefits don’t stop here - with PgCTL*, you will be connected with your classmates with whom you’ll study together online and stay motivated. In addition, you will be part of the community of PgCTL* alumni online, who will also mentor you and respond to your queries in online discussions from their experiences worldwide.
