Previous school experience
Although not compulsory, we believe that some recent school experience is extremely beneficial to those wanting to go into a career in teaching and many of our successful trainees have previously worked in roles such as teaching assistants or as a volunteer within school. We are also able to offer potential trainees opportunities to gain this school experience prior to application or at the start of the course if you wish to apply.
