Postgraduate Teacher Apprenticeship (with QTS) Primary or Secondary Education

The Apprenticeship programme is an employment-based route offering you a way to qualify as a teacher (QTS) while based mainly in a school. As an apprentice, you will receive a salary at least at point 1 of the unqualified teachers’ scale. This programme will give you the opportunity to gain a postgraduate qualification, the PGCert Teaching, which can be used towards a Masters award in the future. This will enable you to develop your skills for teaching and for understanding the interrelationship between learning and teaching, as you develop into a critically reflective practitioner. This programme has been designed for high-quality graduates employed in one of our partnership schools who meet the DfE requirements for entry to Initial Teacher Training (ITT). The Teaching Apprenticeship provides you with off-the job training which includes subject enhancement sessions and a programme of professional studies which will be run on campus and within your employing school and alliance. This training will be tailored to an appropriate age range within either the primary or secondary phase (and subject if in the secondary phase). You can find career progression in both the classroom and within a school's management structure. You might aspire to become the head of a department, age group or curriculum. And through developing your leadership skills and experience, you could progress to a senior management position, such as deputy head or head teacher.
