About The Programme

Come Train With Us

We are a Salaried Teacher Training provider offering a unique two-phased approach. We're committed to being inclusive, supportive and comprehensive in our training.

In Phase One you will work at your own pace to complete an Accreditation in Preparing for Teacher Training, while working full time in a school
In Phase Two you will complete a salaried PGCE in partnership with The National Institute of Teaching and Education, while working full time as a class teacher.

PHASE ONE

Phase One is designed to prepare trainees for their formal Teacher Training, giving them the tools and experience to comfortably achieve Qualified Teacher Status. Our training focuses on the Core Content Framework and our Trainers support and develop in-class practice.

Employed PGCE with QTS

Our Employed PGCE is delivered in partnership with the National Institute of Teaching and Education, providing a salaried, school-based route to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). While working in a school, you’ll receive expert mentoring, high-quality training, and academic support to develop your teaching practice. This pathway ensures you gain hands-on experience while earning a PGCE, equipping you with the skills and confidence needed for a successful teaching career.

Not Only Assessment

Grad2Teach knows that even the most experienced trainees deserve support. That’s why, while your path to QTS is through the Assessment Only Route (AOR), we don’t just leave you to it. Phase One helps you build your portfolio with valuable training, ensuring you're fully prepared before AOR kicks in and gets you that well-earned QTS.

SUPPORT FOR TRAINEES

Grad2Teach offers bespoke support for trainee teachers. We realise that it can be difficult training on the job and have put in support that starts as soon as you are accepted onto the programme.
