Does PLS offer primary and secondary routes into teaching?

Does PLS accept non-UK qualifications?

The programme begins in July with an induction curriculum week, which provides PLS teachers with an induction to the PLS curriculum ready for a September start in their school placement.

What will my training programme be like?

The PLS teacher will be immersed into the day to day life of a school and classroom in one of our partnership schools.  On one day of the week PLS will deliver teacher training on pedagogy, educational theory and its practical application, supporting the PLS teacher’s progress in school. 

How much will it cost to train?

This is dependent on the teacher training route chosen, please look at our ‘Routes at a Glance’ page for further information. 

Are there bursaries available?
