  • Who shoudl you put as your second referee?
  • ergh i didnt even bother trying to put in my science as double.

    as lucylollipop said i to think that that section is for gcse only as it is a requirement in all courses, but a level is not for all.

    i dont have a work experience box, or am i missing it?

    i asked my vicar to be my second reference with my lecturer as my first. do you have a job or anything - you could ask your boss to be your second?
  • My second reference came from another scout leader, that I've been working with on a voluntary basis - is there anyone like that, who can comment on your voluntary/youth work, who would be willing to write a reference for you? The second reference is normally only contacted in the event of you being offered a place, they won't need to provide a reference at the start of the process like your tutor/lecturer will.

  • My first is my lecturer and mentor. My second I think I will ask the teacher who's class i was a teaching assistant in last year :) I'm sure she'd be happy to oblidge

    Just wanted to say good luck guys. I did my PGCE last year and am now teaching. It's hard, but rewarding!
  • I was planning on putting both in jsut wasn't sure which one i should put under english qualification as teh a level is obviously higher.

    I have a degree in English and an A level; but because I didn't have GCSE they wouldn't progress my application.

    Make sure your GCSE is noted at the very least; otherwise they could block you.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    You can do an equivalency test I think?
