Places are filling fast for our September 2024 cohort, with some subjects already full. Applications close on 23 July, we encourage you to apply now to secure your place in your preferred location and subject.

Our Teacher Training sets you on the path to becoming an excellent teacher. One who will inspire the next generation to succeed.

Here’s five reasons why you should join Ambition Institute’s 12-month Teacher Training programme:

  • Train in one school. You’ll do most of your training in one school. This gives you immediate opportunities to put the theory you’ve learnt into practice in a classroom, supported by teaching experts.
  • Get a placement to suit you. You’ll have the option to train where you studied or in the area where you grew up, our national network of partners can find you a school in a location that suits you.
  • Be guided by a mentor. To make sure you are supported through your training, we match you with an experienced teacher who will guide you every step of the way.
  • Benefit from blended learning. You’ll get the high-quality academic training you’d expect to get from a university combined with immersive, classroom learning.
  • Become a qualified teacher. After successfully completing the programme, you’ll achieve qualified teacher status (QTS), and a postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE) enabling you to start your career in teaching straight away.

Eligibility:

To be eligible, you will need:

  • An undergraduate bachelor's degree with honours, generally 2:2 or above, or equivalent.
  • A GCSE grade 4/C or above in English and maths, or equivalent.
  • Primary school trainees will need a GCSE grade 4/C or above in science, or equivalent.

Please note some of our partners will want you to have a degree and/or A Level related to the subject you wish to teach.

International candidates:

We also accept international qualifications that are equivalent to our eligibility criteria above. You will need to provide an ENIC statement of comparability to progress with your application, this costs £49.50 + VAT. It takes 15 working days to complete your order from the date ENIC receives your qualification documents and payment. For more information, and to apply for your ENIC statement, please visit UK ENIC .

Please also note you must have permission to work in the UK full-time by the start and for the duration of the training programme. Unfortunately, Ambition Institute cannot sponsor your visa.

Click the ‘Apply’ button where you will be taken to our partner tool which will allow you to read more about each of our school partners who will be delivering our teacher training, including those offering salaried places on the programme.

Once you’re a fully qualified primary or secondary teacher, your minimum starting salary will be £30,000 in England (or more in London).
