Your School-based Route to Becoming a Primary Teacher with Early Years or Early Primary Specialism
Our core aim is to help you become a confident, knowledgeable and highly employable teacher with a passion for working with young children, to give them the best starting point in life, whatever their circumstances.
Our high-quality mentors and tutors have extensive practical experience and will help you succeed by offering consistent guidance and personalised support throughout the course.
Alongside the Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), this course also carries a PG Cert awarded by Birmingham City University.
In addition to covering all the Teaching Standards, the training includes an emphasis on multi-agency working, leadership in the EYFS, working with 2-year-olds, SEND, and practitioner research.

"The support I have received from both my academic tutor and my placement mentors has been truly amazing. I genuinely could not have asked for a better support system. They have tailored their support to my individual needs, and I feel there is a genuine care about my well-being and development.
I am truly blessed to have been given the opportunity to work with such a wonderful, inspiring, and motivated team (...). Training during the time of the Coronavirus pandemic has not been without its challenges - but it has also provided me with practical experiences of being adaptable, versatile, and resilient."
