At i2i, we believe great teacher training is about more than gaining a qualification. It’s about developing the knowledge, confidence and professional expertise to become the teacher you want to be.
That’s why our training combines expert teaching, real classroom experience and research-informed practice, with a genuinely human approach to your development. From your first day in school through to qualification, you’ll have a team around you to guide, challenge and support you.
Expert-led training
Learn from experienced teachers, educational leaders and subject specialists who bring current research, educational theory and classroom experience together. Our training is designed to help you understand not only what works in teaching, but why.
School-centred from day one
You’ll be immersed in school from the start, learning alongside experienced teachers and putting your training into practice. You’ll gain experience in different settings developing the breadth of knowledge, skills and confidence you need to become a great teacher.
A team around you
You won’t navigate your training alone. Your mentors, tutors, ITT Coordinators and pastoral team work together to provide regular feedback, guidance and support throughout your journey. You’ll also become part of a community of trainees who learn and collaborate together.
Your development, your journey
We recognise that every trainee arrives with different experiences, strengths and goals. Our personalised approach helps you build on what you already know, develop your expertise and overcome barriers along the way. Whether you’re a recent graduate, career changer or already working in a school, we’ll support you to thrive.
Inclusive by design
We are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, both in the training programmes we offer and in our own organisation. We welcome aspiring teachers from all backgrounds and work to remove barriers, creating an environment where every trainee feels valued, supported and able to succeed.
Train locally, build your future
Our training centres and partner schools across Surrey, Hampshire, West London and the South Coast give you the opportunity to train close to home and build your career within local schools and communities. Many of our trainees go on to secure teaching roles within the partnership, building their careers where they trained.
