Apprenticeship

Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship (PGTA)

We are pleased to be offering the Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship in 2025. The postgraduate teaching apprenticeship is an employment-based initial teacher training route leading to qualified teacher status (QTS). This route into teaching takes 12 months and involves an End Point Assessment (EPA).

Applicants on this route will benefit from the same integrated curriculum sessions as our SCITT courses, but will be employed and paid by their school as an unqualified teacher. Schools will be able to use the apprenticeship levy to offset the costs of this route and will be able to timetable their apprentice for teaching with sole responsibility. Prospective apprentices are required to have the commitment of the employing school prior to application.

Information for applicants and employing schools will be published in Autumn 2024, but please register your interest in advance by completing the form at the link below.
