Would you like to train to be a teacher while being paid?
This apprenticeship is for you if you’re a graduate currently working in a school setting – for example as a classroom assistant or a technician – and would like to gain qualified teacher status (QTS), learning on the job.
At the University, we’re proud of our productive relationships with partner schools in Brighton&Hove, and across East and West Sussex. You’ll spend 80% of your time learning while working in a school. The other 20% of your time on the course are spent studying at the University. The apprenticeship is aligned with the UK Government’s Teachers’ standards.
All this will help you become a competent, professional apprentice, ready to successfully take on a teaching role.
This course is currently subject to validation, in line with our procedures for assuring the quality of our degrees. This means that some course detail and content may change as we develop this new course. The validation process will be finished before your course starts.
