The Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP)
The graduate teacher programme website is currently under construction. However, below should offer you some useful information
The graduate teacher programme (GTP) is a programme of on-the-job training allowing graduates to qualify as a teacher while they work. It's a good choice for mature people who want to change to a teaching career but need to continue earning while they train.
To take part in the GTP you can either respond to an advertisement for the GTP programme, apply direct to a GTP provider who will either find you a school, or you will need to find a job in a school to support you through the programme. You will be employed as an unqualified teacher.
Once on the programme your training will be tailored to your own individual needs and lead to qualified teacher status (QTS).
