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.
We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government, professional body or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
