@mellowbaba They are both postgraduate qualifications in Nigeria. The PGDE and the PDE are almost the same in the sense that they are targeted at those with a first degree outside the field of education. That being said, the PDE is exclusive to would-be or aspiring teachers, as it is designed to train & educate graduates to become teachers. Think of it as an advanced NCE. Colleges of education are also allowed to run this programme and the PDE is accepted for progression into a master's degree in any university. TRCN (Teacher's Registration Council of Nigeria) membership is offered upon completion. The PGDE on the other hand is not exclusive to teachers, but is meant for those interested in education in general, especially those without a first degree in education, much similar to the PDE but not specifically tailored or limited to aspiring teachers. They are usually only run by universities. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

One commonly used acronym relating to postgraduate study is PGD. It simply means Postgraduate Diploma. Hopefully, you are used to M.phil, M.B.A and few others. Postgraduate diploma (PGD) is an advanced certificate, awarded by the school of postgraduate studies of the respective University (in Nigeria). A PGD is not a degree per se. Then comes the question….. WHY PGD ANYWAY? A PGD serves more as a entry qualification for a Masters degree programme. While having a Bachelor degrees would suffice for postgraduate admission, certain situations warrant the need for a PGD. Majorly, a PGD is needed when seeking Masters admission to a specialization that your is outside the scope of the Bachelors degree. This means, it is possible to switch course of study or career paths, without restarting a new four/five years Bachelors degree. No matter your new fancy or interest. PGD makes the switch possible and maybe faster. Note didn’t say easier. Case in point, bachelors graduate of chemistry, can do a Masters in Chemical Engineering after a postgraduate diploma PGD in Chemical Engineering. In addition, a PGD is needed if there was a poor or below standard academic performance. In this case, PGD is needed to prove that the certain prerequisite grade. Its is also needed to show that the student can meet the intellectual demands of doing the Masters degree of the course of study, and the poor performance at previous Bachelors degrees was probably due to exigencies. Doing a PGD, serves as a foundation programme in this respect. Many Universities outside Nigeria called PGD, Foundation Masters or Pre-Masters. They all serve the same purpose. In Nigeria in particular, PGD is required for HND (Higher National Diploma) graduate by some University before proceeding for a Masters programme. WHAT TYPE OF PGD SHOULD YOU STUDY FOR? The are PGD programmes in virtually every course of study. But the most popular seems to be the postgraduate diploma in education (PGDE). This is necessary for all who desire to be teachers at any level (primary – university) but did not study education. There are also PGD in Journalism, PGD in Engineering, PGD in some medical fields and PGD Business Administration, Marketing, Finance, Economics etc. HOW LONG FOR A PGD? Duration for a PGD programme depends on specific schools. It ranges from a year to two. The shortest time would not be less than 9 months. The duration for a PGD is also dependent types of study, full time, part time, sandwish or distance learning. Do note the unlike M.Phil. PGD is a terminal programme, except in rare cases. Admission for a Masters degree is not automatic, and this prospective student needs to apply formally. Whatever your choices are, sure you are better informed about what PGD is all about. 3 Likes |

I was also curious to know the distinction between PDE & PGDE because a friend pulled out of PDE and was to enrolled into PGDE. So coming across a document by TRCN clarified my cloudy mind on this. according to TRCN, PGDE is now lacking standard as a result of different institutions having different syllabus. So in an effort to boost its recognition internationally, they came up with a unified syllabus under a certification PDE. Although many people expresses doubt as it is been called a professional diploma in education PDE, may be it might not be regarded for academic purposes like masters, but as stated by TRCN, it is the current and most acceptible certification. 7 Likes |
