Get Into Teaching

Thinking about becoming a teacher? You’re in the right place.

We’re here to help you choose the route that’s right for you and support you every step of the way.

 

What Routes Into Teaching Are Available?

All of our courses lead to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and offer the opportunity to gain a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) with Master’s credits. This opens up broader career options, including the chance to teach abroad.

How to Choose the Right Course for You

1. Select your age range

Would you prefer to teach in the Early Years (3–7) or Primary (5–11) phase?

2. Add a PGCE?

The PGCE adds academic depth and improves career flexibility — especially if you want to work internationally or in leadership roles later on.

3. Full-time or part-time?

Part-time options (minimum 2.5 days per week) are designed around your availability and still include the PGCE, which is completed in the first two terms.

4. Fee-paying or apprenticeship?

We can work with schools to offer apprenticeships if they have indicated their willingness to support you, please get in touch to discuss your options.

💡 All fee-paying courses are eligible for student loans and financial support.

Can I Specialise?

Yes, we offer dedicated specialist routes in the following areas:

  • SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities)
  • PE (Physical Education)
  • Behaviour

These routes provide targeted training that can help you meet the needs of specific learners and enhance your future career prospects.
