Relocate to the UK via Teacher Training
Teacher Training is a means by which non-citizens of the UK can relocate to the UK and train to become a teacher. If you are interested in becoming a teacher in the UK but you do not have a teaching qualification, you can enroll in the teacher training programme. Teacher training helps to get Qualified Teachers Status (QTS) and Qualified Teacher Status with a Postgraduate Certificate in Education.
Requirements to Relocate via Teacher Training
To train and teach in the UK, one needs a confirmed offer of a training place offering a student or skilled worker’s visa. Training can be done in a school or university. For primary and secondary teacher training, you need:
-
A university degree
-
C or above in GCSE science
-
C or above in English and Mathematics
-
An offer of a training place from a teacher training provider;
-
An immigration status that allows you to train to teach in the UK
-
To be healthy and physically fit to train and teach.
Type of Teacher Training
Teacher training helps you to get qualified teachers status and qualified teacher status with a post-graduate certificate in education. The different programmes available are:
-
Non-salaried teacher training: This means that one cannot earn a salary while undergoing training. International trainees are required to pay training fees, usually around £12,000 to about £22,000 depending on the place of training.
-
Salaried teacher training: This is in high demand and therefore a competitive option. One gets to receive a salary throughout the programme. The trainee will most likely be required to have achieved much in his/her Bachelor’s degree and have at least 3 years of relevant work experience.
Qualified teacher status( QTS)
The teacher's training courses help one to get academic qualifications that improve employability and get a QTS. QTS is a legal requirement that enables teachers to teach in English schools.
