        It’s still possible to register for a PGCE (but also, remember that you first have to apply for the qualification before registering. If you did successfully apply, then there’s no problem)

      You should take a look at the following programmes that do fund students who want to obtain a bursary for the PGCE:

      • The Funza Lushaka Bursary
      • The HCI Foundation
      • The Jakes Gerwel Fellowship

          You have to figure out what discipline are you interested in pursuing when it comes to the PGCE as there are multiple qualifications upon a wide variety of courses. I cannot say which one would be the best for you as this is solely up to you
