It's not too late to apply

There’s still time for you to start a teacher training programme in September. Whether you’d like your training to be led by a school or a university, there’s a training programme that’s right for you.

Not sure what the difference is? We’ve got it covered:

• school-led (tuition fee) and school-centred initial teacher training (SCITT) – based in the classroom, you’ll spend time in university or college placements. You’ll pay fees, but you might be eligible for funding through tuition fee loans, training bursaries, or scholarships
• school-led (salaried) – classroom-based, this is an employment route for high-quality, experienced graduates with at least three years’ work experience. You’ll earn a salary while you learn and won’t pay tuition fees
• university-led courses – run by colleges and universities throughout the UK, you will be university-based but will complete a minimum of 120 days in school. You’ll pay fees, and may have the chance to study for the credits you’d need to top up your PGCE or PGDE to a full master’s degree
