  • Our trainees love the experience of being hands on in the classroom from day 1. They feel part of a department and a team, and love the practical nature of the course 
  • Bespoke and flexible experience which can be personalised to your rate of progress, with plenty of individual support provided at all stages from interview to completion of the course
  • Learn from authentic experts - your tutors will be outstanding classroom practitioners themselves
  • Great training in research and theory, designed to support you where it matters: in the classroom
  • Second placements in local schools, and intensive learning weeks on developing key skills, will build your expertise outside your placement school by complementing your core learning
