TA to Teacher
How does it work?
If you’re already working in a school - or you’ve built meaningful experience in UK classrooms - this route gives you the chance to step forward with confidence. You’ll spend four days each week immersed in school life, with one day dedicated to online study that flexes around your workload and previous experience.
Your training fees are covered by your school, and as a trainee you’ll earn at least point 1 on the unqualified teacher scale.
The Post Graduate Teaching Apprenticeship is an exciting route into becoming a qualified teacher. This route enables trainees to develop their knowledge of teaching whilst developing practical classroom skills as a paid, unqualified teacher in one of our placement schools.
