This apprenticeship is for you if you’re a graduate currently working in a school setting – as a classroom assistant or technician – and want to gain QTS while learning on the job.

Join us on 5 November to find out how our fully-funded Postgraduate Teacher Apprenticeship course works with ‘on the job' learning in an employing school and ‘off the job’ learning at the University of Sussex helping you become a competent, professional apprentice, ready to successfully take on a teaching role.

This apprenticeship could be 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) whilst learning on the job developing practical teaching skills and learning from mentors. 

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 PGTA is aligned with the UK Government’s Teachers’ standards.
