The Teacher Degree Apprenticeship is a new route to become a qualified teacher, offering a salaried, on-the-job experience while you study for a bachelor's degree and gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). This pathway is ideal for those who do not yet have an undergraduate degree but want to build a career in education.

If you’re considering teaching in a UK state school, you’ll need to have a degree, and a recognised teaching qualification. Initial Teacher Education or Training (ITET) programmes across the UK are broadly similar, providing a combination of academic study and time in school, as you learn about key teaching methods. The routes, entry requirements, and statutory teaching standards are different depending on where in the UK you plan to train, and ultimately, teach. You can apply through UCAS for the main postgraduate and undergraduate teacher training programmes in Wales and Scotland. For programmes in England, use the DfE's 'Apply for teacher training' service.
