CertPT - What is the difference between this qualification and a master’s degree?

The CertPT is at the same level as the final year of an undergraduate degree and is entirely context-based, focusing on what teachers do with teaching resources in their own classrooms. 

This is unlike other qualifications, which focus on teaching skills and methodology in general. 

The CertPT helps teachers evaluate, adapt, create, use and reflect on the use of teaching resources relevant to their context. 

Master’s degrees, at a level higher than the CertPT, are longer and tend to be more theoretical in content.
