How to get into teaching

To become a school teacher in England you will need a bachelor's degree and you will need to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

If you already have a degree, we offer a Post Graduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) and QTS qualification which is delivered in a school, local to you. Our hub-based (previously school-direct) initial teacher training takes 1 academic year (Sept - July) to complete and will provide you with practical skills and vital knowledge to confidently prepare you to transition into teaching.

Our PGCE hub-based programme is a non-salaried teacher training course, based in school and accredited by the University of Worcester.

Forthcoming Open Events

Our Train to Teach Open Event is a great opportunity to find out more about the PGCE qualification and discover how the course will be delivered in school.
