How to Apply

Essential Entry Requirements

The i2i teacher training programme is a postgraduate programme – you will require:

• GCSE (or equivalent) Grade C/4 or above qualifications in English and Maths. Certificates will be required at interview (certified statements can be requested from the examination boards for any lost/stolen certificates);

• An honours degree qualification (ideally 2:2 or higher classification, third class classifications will be considered) from a UK Higher Education Institution (or equivalent if studied overseas);

• If your degree is not in the subject in which you train to teach, an A Level in a related subject is preferred (applicants must be able to demonstrate appropriate subject knowledge for the age range they intend to teach);

• Two academic or professional references, as appropriate.

We accept applications from candidates who are currently studying for any of the above qualifications; however any offers made would be conditional on achieving the required grade. We may be able to offer Subject Knowledge Enhancement to those whose degree is not directly applicable to the subject they wish to teach.

Applicants who are otherwise suitable for ITT but, for whatever reason, have not successfully achieved a GCSE Grade 4 may be given an opportunity to show that they can nevertheless meet the required standard by taking an equivalence test, these are available through either Equivalency Testing or A* Star Equivalency.  Please note Level 2 Functional Skills qualifications are NOT accepted as equivalent qualifications.

If you were educated overseas you will need to obtain a statement of comparability from ENIC (the UK National Information Centre for the recognition and evaluation of international qualifications and skills) to assess if you meet the entry requirements.

Successful applicants will be subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Further information regarding this process will be provided once an offer has been made.

Desirable Entry Requirements

You should have a strong commitment to secondary education and have ideally spent time working (either paid or in voluntary capacity) in an education setting. We understand that for many, this isn't possible. In these circumstances, you will have taken other steps to have a clear understanding of how a modern secondary school works, the challenges and the joys.

The i2i Teaching Partnership will support you with the process of gaining School Experience - please see our dedicated School Experience Page for further details.
