Teacher training – application form assistant

Checklist

There are a number of things you need to do before completing an application form:

• Choose your training route, age range and/or subject and provider. Find out more about choosing a course
• Check you meet the minimum qualifications and any further stipulations from providers, such as class of degree etc.
• Look at the practicalities of filling in the form. See the Graduate Teacher Training Registry (GTTR) and the Prospects information for: secondary teaching and primary teaching
• Check you are applying within the deadline. It’s best to apply as early as possible. For secondary, the deadline is until courses start, but for primary it is early December (the December before courses start). If you think your application may be late, contact the training provider to ask if applications are still being accepted.
• Gain some classroom experience – this is essential for any teacher training course.
