Teach First Training Programme PGCE with QTS

Bath Spa University

Developed in collaboration Teach First and schools, the Teach First Training Programme combines world-class teacher and leadership training and leads to a qualification that formally recognises your advanced skills in both teaching and leadership. The one-year paid programme is based on global best practice and research and has been refined through more than 20 years of experience and feedback from leading employers, teaching experts and previous participants. What you'll learnOverviewDuring the programme you’ll gain a fully-funded Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), covering both education and leadership, to become a qualified teacher. You’ll also acquire the key skills and personal qualities needed to develop into an effective leader – someone who can make a real impact. If you can inspire in the classroom, you can bring resilience, efficiency and imagination to any environment, no matter where your career takes you. Over 10,000 people have joined the programme so far. Many have remained in the classroom and many others are working in leadership roles across all sectors of the economy. What they all have in common is a belief that every child should have equal opportunities in education and in life, and the knowledge they are contributing towards this goal.OpportunitiesAccess to Professional DevelopmentOn successful completion of your PGCE, you'll have the opportunity to pursue our MA Educational Leadership (Teach First) at a reduced cost. This course continues your leadership development. If you choose to continue with the MA, you'll get the chance to share experiences, reflect on your development and examine ways to accelerate your leadership skills in addressing our goals as a movement for lasting social change.
