The course runs in line with the school terms in Somerset. It combines classroom experience with taught sessions. You will have 3 school experience placements during the training year, organised by SCIL.

There will be a range of teaching, learning and assessment methods including lectures, workshops, peer group activities, seminars, directed reading, independent research, directed study, presentations, tutorials, fieldwork and use of both formative and summative assessment which draw upon evidence, reflection, analysis and evaluations.

Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship

Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship programmes are a nationally-recognised, work-based route into teaching. It is an alternative to a traditional full-time university course, offering the option of a postgraduate-level qualification, no tuition fees, and the opportunity to earn while you learn.

Potential apprentices will need to be employed in a school which is able to offer and support an apprenticeship programme.
