Entry requirements

Applicants are required to hold a degree (2:2 or above) in the subject they wish to teach. A degree with significant related content would also be considered. If the degree is not in the subject you wish to teach, then you must additionally hold at least a L3 qualification in that subject. If teaching in a SEND setting, a L2 SEND related qualification and/or relevant experience will be considered. You must also have English & Maths GCSE grade 4 or above, or equivalent. Please note, functional Skills is not deemed equivalent to GCSE and therefore not accepted as an entry qualification. If a GCSE in English and/or Maths is not offered then an equivalency test or A star equivalency test graded as a GCSE pass can be accepted. Also required is access to 150 hours of teaching practice over the duration of the programme.
