You need a degree. Post Graduate Certificate in Education. Ideally it needs to be in the subject you want to teach, but not necessarily. It is intensive. Be prepared..............................

First of all you need to have done a degree prior to going on a PGCE course, have you done that yet? Technically if you already have a degree you could do both a PGCE and HND at the same time, however you wouldn't beable to go to two classes at the same time and what will you do when you are out on teacher placement!! therefore ideally doing both at the same time wouldn't work. Also would you have the money to finance both. The time, energy and attention a PGCE takes up wouldn't allow both courses to run similtaneously.
If you don't have a degree, you could do the HND, then transfer to your degree course then do your PGCE. Or just go to uni to get a business degree then PGCE and miss out the HND altogether.
Hope this helps

Don't know about HND, but PGCE is very much a full-time commitment for the year. Sheffield Hallam do a part-time PGCE spread over two years tailored to people who have other commitments.
One basic question is why you want to do both? If you want to teach and you have a degree already, do the PGCE. If you're not sure about your future career, get yourself a placement in a school for a week, the scale of the job might spark your enthusiasm or it might frighten you off.

you need to turn you hnd into a degree takes 1 or two years depending on which uni you go too. As for the PGCE being intensive HA Ha HA Ha don't make me laugh. I did one and it was a walk in the park just another hoop to jump through. In todays world the uni's really really want you to pass as they get half the money for you upfront and the other half once you have graduated. It's not rocket science. I had a mate who made up the whole of his final dissertation 20,000 words of bullsh*t amazing feet, he deserved to pass just for that and he did. Play the system it's easy really.

The PGCE course is particularly intensive. I would not advise you to undertake both courses at the same time. You can always take the HND afterwards.
