Interested in Becoming a Teacher?
If you are interested in becoming a teacher then we can offer you the opportunity to experience teaching by joining on a Teaching Taster Course, or if you are still studying for a BA/BSc, postgraduate degree, HND or Foundation Degree by joining the Student Associate Scheme.
Once you have made up your mind to train, the Employment Based Route of the Graduate Teacher Programme could be the ideal training route for you. This one year full time training programme combines the benefits of centre based and school based training with being employed as a trainee teacher at a school.
Training to become a teacher may also require enhancing your subject knowledge in certain areas.
Qualified primary and secondary teachers who have had a career break and are now looking to return to the profession can refresh skills and update knowledge by attending a Return to Teaching Course.
These 10 week intensive courses will ensure a smooth and now successful return to the classroom. And you are even paid a training bursary to attend these courses.
If you require further information please contact Peter Steadman (telephone: 01226 72037) or Anna Turner (telephone: 01226 720372).
