School Direct Route

1 Years | Up To £9,250.00 | Full Time / Part Time

Introduction to route

The School Direct programme is for high-quality graduates who want to be part of a school team from day one.

The Route allows you to learn on the job as you work towards your Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) recommendation, undertaking a placement within primary, secondary and special education needs schools.

As well as being based in a school, you’ll also be taught by an education provider within the school’s partnership, attending lectures and seminars to bolster your hands-on experience with theories.

There are two types of training options within the route, salaried and un-salaried. Each leading to the award of QTS upon successful completion. Many courses also award a postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE) or masters-level credits.

Programmes generally last for one year.
