Course summary

NETT offers a full time, one year course leading to the award of Postgraduate Certificate of Education (University of Suffolk) with qualified Teacher Status (QTS). There is an option to opt out of PGCE and take the QTS route only.

The rigorous and relevant school-based programme has been developed by a group of Headteachers in the Tendring area and includes significant school experience, block teaching practices, training and tutorials. The majority of training sessions are delivered at the NETT centre, using other partnership school venues as appropriate. School experience and teaching practices take place in two different schools within the local area.

The course covers the age ranges 11-16, 11-19 or 14-19, depending on the subject.

School placements

There are two school placements throughout the year to enable trainees to access a range of schools and courses. Visits to special schools and primary schools are also included.
Placement schools are in Colchester, Tendring and the surrounding area. NETT arranges placements in most cases although applicants can also do this.

Interview process

The interview will be with our programme leader and a subject leader or senior member of one of our partner schools. It will involve a presentation, interview, subject-based written task, general literacy task and numeracy task. You will be at the centre for approximately three hours.

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.

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)
