This Postgraduate Teacher Apprenticeship (PGTA) in Primary (3-7) will allow you to develop your career with confidence in the school where you are currently employed. This rewarding course prepares you to teach three to seven-year-olds (Key Stage 1). It combines a successful ‘on-the-job’ approach within your current school with the best aspects of a university training route.

For this route you are ideally already in a school and are looking to develop your career further. The programme is a nationally recognised route into teaching, which offers a professional qualification with no tuition fees, primarily for those who have a good understanding of what it means to work in a school and have built up some experience as a teaching assistant or similar role.

On completion of this practical course, you’ll gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and the master’s level PGCE. Many of our previous apprentices are still employed in local schools, and many have progressed on to act as mentors, supporting newer trainee teachers.

Please note, you should only apply for this route if you are sponsored by your employer. London Met will not provide a matching service. If you wish to find a school to sponsor you through an apprenticeship, please consider applying via one of our school partnerships.
