The Two Routes The School Direct Training Programme is open to graduates and funded by tuition fees paid by the trainee, who may receive a bursary from the National College for Teaching and Leadership and a student loan. There is an intention that the route will lead to employment in the school. The School Direct Training Programme (Salaried) is an employment based route into teaching for high quality graduates with three or more years full time career experience. The trainee is employed as an unqualified teacher by a school. The National College for Teaching and Leadership provides funding. Both routes must be delivered in partnership with an accredited provider like NTU.
NTU AWARDS In addition to Qualified Teacher Status trainees will also achieve one of the following Academic Awards, depending on the proportion of Master s level credits obtained: Post Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) (120 Masters credits) Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) (60 Masters credits/60 level 6) Professional Graduate Certificate in Education (ProfGCE) (120 level 6 credits)
