Trainees

Many graduates often consider teaching as a potential career option, but the limited availability of salaried positions combined with inaccessible entry requirements can often deter applicants.

Through our innovative and flexible programme, we aim to ensure that the most dedicated and enthusiastic educators have the opportunity to earn their Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and embark on their journey towards becoming lifelong teachers.

Our two-phase programme allows you to begin gaining experience while completing your degree, gradually progressing towards teaching a full timetable. We offer rolling admissions for the programme, allowing you to apply whenever you're ready!
