Applying for teacher training

Gill Golder, Director of Teacher Education at Plymouth Marjon University, offers some advice on teaching training applications

If you know you want to teach, the undergraduate route with QTS is perfect for you. If you want to keep your options open or perhaps would like a little more time to develop, the postgraduate routes might be better for you. If you choose to do a BA or BSc degree first and then a postgraduate route, there are different options you can choose from and these are explained on the Get Into Teaching website.
