Post-Compulsory Education and Training (PCET) at Edge Hill offers study programmes towards achieving a Certificate of Higher Education (for non-graduates) and a PGCE (for graduates) in Post-Compulsory Education and Training. The awards are offered as a Certificate of Higher Education at Levels 4 and 5, and as a PGCE at Level 6 or 7.

- Staff already working in Post-Compulsory Education but who require a formal qualification (in-service);
- Private and public sector employees who have training responsibilities within their organisation (in-service)
