Teacher Training Courses

It’s not surprising that top graduates are choosing a career in teaching.

Teachers have the opportunity to inspire the next generation on a daily basis. Not only this, but there are also a range of funding options on offer to support trainee teachers during their teacher training.

Once you have your degree there are several ways to undertake teacher training.

• Study at a university as a postgraduate student.
• Train as you teach at a school or group of schools.
• Earn a salary.

Whichever route you choose, your training will largely consist of the same amount of practical teacher training and theory work.

All teacher training courses will offer

• Qualified teacher status (QTS), which is needed to teach as a qualified teacher in England.
• Plenty of classroom experience in at least two schools – a minimum of 24 weeks of school experience.
• Training to meet the Teachers’ Standards, which will include classroom management and making your subject accessible to your pupils.
• Expert academic and practical guidance from mentors and tutors who are there to help you succeed.

Most courses will also offer a postgraduate qualification, usually a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) - speak to your chosen course provider(s) to find out what qualification their course offers.
