Attend our next Teacher Training Information event to find out more about becoming a teacher at Sussex
Train to be a teacher on one of our teaching courses. We offer a range of PGCE degrees, from primary to secondary school teaching.
Our PGCE courses prepare you for a successful career as a teacher.
Experienced mentors and professional tutors will run your school-based teacher education. You’ll learn to teach in schools in Sussex, Brighton & Hove, Surrey, Hampshire or Kent. University tutors will support you throughout the year.
We have a proud history of innovation for all our teacher training. We pioneered the model of school-based teaching 45 years ago, which has now been adopted by all training providers in England.
A PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education) is a qualification that will give you qualified teacher status (QTS), allowing you to teach in UK schools. You’ll combine the practical experience of school placements with learning the cutting-edge theory behind teaching and education. You can choose to study full-time or part-time.
As part of the application process, you will need to submit a personal statement and attend an interview.
