The School Direct route is a school-based approach to teacher training, allowing the highest quality graduates an opportunity to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in a unique way. This is high quality, hands-on training giving trainees the chance to learn in a practical way whilst accessing the expertise and support necessary to gain the knowledge, skills and professional attitudes to train excellent teachers and future leaders.
If a school is interested in providing a salary whilst you train, we can also provide:
Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship (an employment-based route for high quality experienced graduates. You will earn a salary while you train. This programme offers a combination of classroom teaching, practical learning and a salary. You’ll receive a combination of classroom teaching and 20% of your time is allocated to off-the-job training as you work towards Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). In addition, you’ll be required to undertake an end-point assessment (EPA) in the final term to ensure you’re on track to be an effective newly qualified teacher).
