Our successful postgraduate Teacher Apprenticeship Training Scheme is growing. We are currently working in collaboration with a number of schools and are also the official provider of teacher apprenticeships for a number of local boroughs.
We are welcoming more schools and alliances to join our provision, either as a lead school or in conjunction with one of our existing partners, perhaps as a stepping stone to developing your own programmes.
We offer teacher apprenticeships in both primary and secondary teaching areas:
- Early Years (ages 3-7)
- Primary (ages 5-11)
- Primary (ages 7-11)
- Secondary Maths (ages 11-16)
- Secondary Modern Foreign Languages (ages 11-16)
- Secondary Biology (ages 11-16)
- Secondary Physics (ages 11-16)
- Secondary Chemistry (ages 11-16)
Our teacher apprenticeships have a unique identity and our supportive approach makes it easy for schools to get involved.
Why you should work with us
London Metropolitan University has a long and proud history of leading teacher training for London schools. We work with a strong partnership of schools across London.
Here are just some of the benefits to schools and their apprentices:
- All of our apprentices work towards the Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) as well as an academic award – PGCE worth 60 Master’s-level credits.
- Apprentices receive professional and academic support from our highly experienced team of tutors, who make regular visits to observe and ensure that trainees are on track.
- We work very closely with our partner schools and alliances to review and improve our programmes.
- Our Initial Teacher Training team and external assessors advise and ensure that individual school programmes meet our high standards.
- Fortnightly face-to-face training sessions take place at our Holloway Road campus in Islington, combined with school-based off-the-job training to make up the 20% training requirement.
- Apprentices can access the University’s facilities including the library resources, Students’ Union, student support services and campus facilities.
