Postgraduate Teacher Apprenticeship
The Postgraduate Teacher Apprenticeship offers a great opportunity for graduates who want to start a career in education. This fee-free, salaried route offers aspiring teachers the chance to attain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) whilst employed within a school.
Introducing the Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship
With the challenge of teacher recruitment and retention continuing to loom large, Teacher Apprenticeships emerge as a practical solution for both prospective teachers and schools. By leveraging funding from the Apprenticeship Levy, these programs remove financial barriers associated with ITT, widening the pool of potential teachers. In addition, secondary schools utilising Teacher Apprenticeships further benefit from grant funding designed to directly support the apprentice teacher's salary.

The Postgraduate Teacher Apprenticeship also provides a practical solution for existing support staff to take the next step in their career journey. Available to LSAs, HLTAs, cover supervisors, lab technicians and the countless other support staff roles that exist within schools, this ‘upskill’ route to QTS enables staff to remain employed whilst they train, helping overcome the large financial burden presented by the traditional fee-funded pathways.
Benefits of upskilling your current workforce:
- Grow your own
- Reduce recruitment and induction costs
- Apprentice in the classroom teaching from 80% on Day 1
- Train unqualified teachers to achieve QTS in 12 months
- Funded by the apprenticeship levy
