Post Graduate Certificate In Education [PGCE]

Overview

“Acharya Devo Bhava” has been the guiding principle & one of the key reasons behind the success of the DAV Group of Schools, Chennai. In furthering these values, ‘D.A.V. Shikshanam’ was established in July 2017 with a view to training high-caliber teachers who are truly capable of creating a positive impact on young lives.

Our meticulously designed PGCE program serves as a finishing school for developing exceptional teachers – true ‘gurus’ with the capability to impact lives & make a difference. It takes into account behaviours & skills that contribute to a well-balanced personality as well as technological tools that to enable today’s teachers.
