Course Overview

Are you a TA who wants to train to teach while continuing to work as a TA?

This course is a 2-year foundation degree designed for primary teaching assistants working as the first step toward becoming a teacher.

You will need a Level 3 qualification, GCSEs in maths, English, and science, experience as a TA, and work as a TA for at least two days per week in a primary school.

These level 4 and 5 courses will then enable you to apply for our BA (Hons) Primary Teaching Studies with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) top-up course, which is also delivered through blended learning and will provide you with the opportunity to qualify to teach in a further 16 months after completing this foundation degree while continuing to work as a TA.

Most sessions will be taught online, but there will be a few specific days on campus each year to ensure you can become part of our supportive BGU learning community.

Sessions delivered by our primary teaching experts will support your transition to degree-level study and the Initial Teacher Training (ITT) Core Content Framework (CCF) to ensure you have the ideal preparation to progress to the next stage of your teacher training.

General Eligibility

Typically, a minimum of one year’s experience in practice with a minimum of two days a week (minimum of 2 days per week working in a relevant role, either as an employee or a volunteer).

To prepare for compliance with current national requirements for the award of QTS, applicants must have GCSE passes in maths, English, and science at Grade C/4 (or equivalent) or above.

Part Time Work Details

20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.
