All trainees who complete the SCITT course will do so with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Trainees graduate with a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) from Sheffield Hallam University
Tuition fees are £9,250 for QTS with PGCE.
GCSEs & Degree
In order to apply for any Teacher Training course you must have GCSE English and maths at Level 4 (Grade C) or above for Primary and Secondary phase training courses. If you are looking to train at Primary level, you will additionally require GCSE Science at a Level 4 (Grade C) or above. You should have these qualifications or accepted equivalency tests in place before you apply through UCAS. As this is a Post-Graduate degree you must have a first degree to apply. For Primary this can be any degree in any subject and ideally a degree in your chosen subject (or related to your chosen subject) for Secondary. However, there are subject knowledge enhancement courses available for some subjects so this isn’t always necessary.
Overseas trained teachers will need to provide evidence that their qualifications allow them to teach in their own countries and that these qualifications are an equivalent level to UK qualifications. This information can be obtained from UK ENIC (formerly NARIC).
You will be placed in two different schools to give you a real breadth of experience. We are lucky that the partnership is extremely diverse and we can offer very distinct experiences. All schools are quality assured by the central SCITT team to ensure consistency of experience.
The SCITT Director organises placements. We only place trainees in schools with a proven track record of supporting ITE students and where the senior leadership team have committed to Manchester Nexus’ ethos. When allocating a placement we look at where you live, your individual circumstances and your experience to date.
You will have 2 placements – 1 main school and 1 contrasting school. You will also get the opportunity to engage in enrichment activities during the academic year.
