What makes Primary PGCE Teacher Apprenticeship at Worcester special?
The Teacher Apprenticeship provides a salaried route into gaining Qualified Teacher Status with an optional PGCE. As an apprentice you will earn as you learn and your training fees will be paid for by your employer. At the University of Worcester, you can tailor your training programme to suit both your needs and those of your employer.
All Teacher Apprentices will follow the PGCE programme, rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted in March 2023. You will have the option of gaining an additional 60 PGCE credits at Masters level (with recommendation for QTS), or you can opt to follow a QTS only route.
We also offer a PGCE SENDI pathway or a PGCE PE pathway while training as an apprentice. Please note both these pathways are not offered as QTS only routes. You can read more about the PGCE programme on our PGCE Primary (QTS) webpage.
This course will give you qualified teacher status, accredited by the Department for Education (DfE).
Careers
On successful completion of the teacher apprenticeship you take with you a Career Entry Profile to start the process of your continuing professional development as a teacher. You will liaise with your employer about employment after you complete your apprenticeship.
Honours degree (normally 2:2 or higher) from a United Kingdom higher education institution or equivalent qualification. Applicants with a 3rd class degree will be considered on an individual basis.
