Go straight to the top of the class with a teacher training apprenticeship at B&FC
Teacher training apprenticeships offer a dynamic, hands-on route into the classroom—combining work, study and salary to deliver high-quality training that benefits both apprentices and schools. Designed to lead to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), these programmes put aspiring teachers in real school settings from the start, allowing them to develop skills in context while earning a wage.
For apprentices, it’s a practical and rewarding way to train—no tuition fees, direct classroom experience and support from experienced mentors, all while working towards a nationally recognised qualification. It’s learning with impact, setting you up for a successful career in teaching.
For schools and trusts, apprenticeships are a powerful workforce development tool. You can grow your own pipeline of committed, skilled teachers, tailor their training to your school’s ethos, and access government funding to support the process. Whether you're addressing recruitment challenges or planning long-term succession, teacher training apprenticeships offer a cost-effective, future-facing solution.
With flexibility built in and quality at its core, this route is helping shape the next generation of educators—grounded, confident, and classroom-ready. Whether you’re looking to step into teaching or grow your team, find out how a teacher training apprenticeship could work for you.
Career opportunities
With time and experience, teachers can move into roles such as subject lead, head of department, or even senior leadership positions like assistant head or headteacher. There are also pathways into mentoring, teacher training or curriculum development, offering a diverse and fulfilling career journey.
For those starting out, this route provides more than just a job—it opens doors to a lasting, impactful profession with real progression and purpose.
