yes is the simple answer. Many colleges and universities offer part time PGCE course. Just ring them up and find out.

Yes you can.
Though if the reason you want to do it part time is so you can carry on a job at the same time, (if money is a worry) then you should be aware that many institutions offer bursaries now, of up to £9000 to train. In addition to this, you will receive a 'golden hello' when you have finished your first year of teaching, which is generally £2500- 5000 - to help you pay of the debts.
You will also be entitled to up to £6000 in loans in the PGCE year. You have to apply for these with your LA. (local authority).
See the TDA website for more details.
Another option is of course to train on the job. If you do a GTP, you will be paid a basic salary of £14k to train while working in a school.
Be prepared for a whole load of hard work though, I started mine in September and it is exhausting! Utterly worthwhile and fun, but knackering!
