The Professional Role

This apprenticeship is designed for teachers of pupils from 3 – 19 years. Teachers can be employed in a variety of educational settings. Teachers make the education of their pupils their first concern and are accountable for achieving the highest possible standards in work and conduct.

Teachers demonstrate consistently high standards of personal and professional conduct; have strong subject knowledge, keep their knowledge and skills as teachers up-to-date and are self-critical; they forge positive professional relationships and work with parents/carers in the best interests of their pupils.

The Learning Journey

The length of the course is typically 15 months plus the End Point Assessment.
