Brief Description

Sir William Ramsay School is advertising for a Postgraduate Apprentice Teacher. This would suit someone with strong subject knowledge, who can teach a range of abilities, knows how to maximise achievement, and is committed to ensuring that learning is an enriching experience for all.

Training to be Provided

The Apprenticeship Training Provider is NITE (Coventry University's National Institute for Teaching and Education) and the training is weekly and online learning.


Details will be provided by NITE once you have been accepted onto their training programme. 

Future Prospects

Once the PGTA has completed and the apprentice has gained Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and their PGCE (which is a mandatory part of the training) and their apprenticeship qualification, they can move into an Early Career Teacher role to complete the mandatory 2 years of ECT Induction.


An ECT job is not guaranteed and must be applied for in the usual job application process.


Once you have completed your training and gained QTS - you move onto the Main Teacher Pay Scale and your next job will be as an Early Career Teacher (ECT) where you receive two years of further training and mentorship before completing and becoming fully qualified.
