Benefits

Learn with England’s largest professional development provider: We are partnered with national education charity, Ambition Institute, to deliver our programme. Ambition is England’s largest professional development provider with 1 in 9 teachers and school leaders in state-funded schools currently developing professionally with Ambition.

Improve children’s lives: Our mission with Ambition is to help young people reach their full potential, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. By joining our programme, you can help give every child the best possible start in life.

Train in school: You will complete most of your training in your main placement school and will also gain further skills and experience in a contrasting school. This school-based approach will give you immediate opportunities to practise the theory you have learnt in a classroom and will also allow you to build relationships with your pupils, teachers, staff, and the wider school community. By the end of your training, you will have the confidence to teach in a classroom independently.

Be guided by a mentor: You will also receive one-on-one support every week from your dedicated mentor, who will be an experienced teacher that works in your school. You mentor will offer coaching and guidance enabling you to put your learning into practice in a structured, step-by-step way, before taking it live in the classroom. Your mentoring sessions will also include protected time to discuss your wellbeing.

Qualify as a teacher in 12 months: On successful completion of the programme, you will have Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) and 60 credits towards a Master’s Degree. Each of which will help you thrive in the classroom and start earning a minimum starting salary of £30,000 once qualified.

Benefit from blended learning: We blend the high-quality academic training you would expect to get from a university with immersive, classroom learning. You will benefit from a combination of face-to-face training sessions and theoretical study on our easy-to-use online learning portal.
