Part-time courses
Your training will be spread over a longer period, usually over two years. This flexible approach means you can fit training to become a qualified teacher around other commitments, offering a more gradual introduction into the profession. To support your training you could access a bursary or scholarship, or a salary on School Direct (salaried).
If you’re interested in training part-time, we recommend contacting the schools or universities directly before applying. From October, you can find part-time courses on UCAS Teacher Training by selecting ‘part-time with vacancies’ in the third field.
The training providers listed below are for trainees starting this September 2017 - a revised list for 2018/19 will be provided soon. In the meantime, you can search for available courses on UCAS Teacher Training.
