Can I later put my credits towards a Masters of Education in SEND?

You most certainly can put your credits from a PGCert towards a higher qualification, provided that they were achieved within 5 years.

A PGCert is made up of 60 credits. Study two more 30 credit Skills & Knowledge modules to achieve a PG Dip, including the Evidence and Pedagogy for Inclusion module if you have not already taken it or studied NASENCO/iSENCO. When you are ready, build further by taking the 60 credit Enquiry-based SEND practice module, to achieve the full MEd SEND!

How long does it take?

It depends. You’ll have up to 12 months to complete each knowledge and skills module. You can take a break between modules, or can study 2 modules in a year.
