Course summary
The final qualification awarded is a PGCE in Primary (General) with QTS and Associate teachers can earn up to 90M level credits (equivalent to half a Masters degree). All Associate Teachers are fully supported with the academic writing process via group based tutorial sessions which are embedded in the core programme.
This programme has been designed to ensure that our trainees have the skill set that schools are looking for in the future generation of teachers. A measure of the success of the programme can be seen by the employability of our trainees and the final grading of their learning and teaching. Last year all trainees completing the award had secured full time employment before their graduation and 68% of our trainees were judged to be outstanding by their school based mentors.
School placements
The programme is strongly rooted in a School and University partnership so Associate Teachers spend 3 days in their placement school and two days at University. This enables a constant reflection on practice and the opportunity to move their thinking across all areas.
The core programme begins with a two week subject knowledge enhancement in Literacy and Mathematics. This is to promote the Associate Teacher’s understanding of progression across the key concepts in these two core curriculum areas. From there the Associate Teacher moves into a carefully balanced theoretical and practical application of their understanding.
There is a statutory regulation of 120 days in school, on this course Associate Teachers have the opportunity to work within two partner primary schools, approximately 60 days in each.

About the accredited body
The final qualification awarded is a PGCE in Primary (General) with QTS and Associate teachers can earn up to 90M level credits (equivalent to half a Masters degree). All Associate Teachers are fully supported with the academic writing process via group based tutorial sessions which are embedded in the core programme.
International candidates
You’ll need the right to study in the UK. You already have this if, for example, you:
- are an Irish citizen
- have settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme (you may still be able to apply)
- have indefinite leave to remain in the UK
If you do not already have the right to study in the UK, you may need to apply for a visa. The main visa for fee-paying courses (those that you have to pay for) is the Student visa.
To apply for a Student visa, you’ll need to be sponsored by your training provider.
Sponsorship is not available for this course.
If you need a visa, filter your course search to find courses with visa sponsorship.
Alternatively, check if you’re eligible for a different type of visa, such as a Graduate or Family visa, that allows you to train to be a teacher without being sponsored.
Find out more about training to teach in England.
International qualifications
If your qualifications come from a non-UK institution, we may want to see a ‘statement of comparability’ from UK ENIC. This will show us how they compare to UK qualifications.
You can call Get Into Teaching on 0800 389 2500 for:
- guidance on the UK equivalents of your qualifications
- a free statement of comparability once you’ve submitted your application (if we ask you for this)
Training with disabilities and other needs
The partnership is fully inclusive and applicants are encouraged to contact the partnership lead. Mr Carl Leech, should they wish to discuss their individual circumstances.
