They’ll be assigned a personal pathway tutor who will provide them with regular feedback on their progress and coach them on subject knowledge and teaching skill development.

Apprentices will also be required to dedicate 20% of their week to online subject specific and professional studies training.

On successful completion apprentices will gain QTS. After this an external End Point Assessment (EPA) will be carried out and their Level 6 apprenticeship can be awarded.
