How to find the teacher training programme that's right for you.

Whether you are looking for undergraduate or postgraduate teacher training programmes in Scotland or Wales, you must apply through the UCAS Undergraduate scheme.

The personal statement is your opportunity to let training providers know about your qualities, skills and expertise, and why you want to teach.

We asked admissions tutors how you can ensure your teacher training personal statement gets top marks and secures you that all-important interview.

What do you need to do before you start your programme?

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.
