About the course

On this programme students apply for a training vacancy at a school and work for a salary as an unqualified teacher - you will ‘train on the job’. This route is designed for people who have gained three years’ work experience (not necessarily in education).

It is important to note that this programme leads to a QTS only, although students can apply to study for a Top-Up PGCE towards the end of the programme. Prospective students apply directly via UCAS to the school or alliance and are recruited to a vacancy at that alliance.

School placements

You will spend the majority of time in your main placement school but will also be required to carry out a 2nd placement at another school which is usually for a period of 6 weeks.

Your 2nd placement will provide you with an excellent opportunity to compare and contrast different approaches to all aspects of teaching.
