The Salaried Course

This route is best suited to applicants with significant UK school-based experience, ideally in a teaching capacity. Salaried trainees will start teaching their own classes from the start and will have a higher teaching load than the fee-paying (unsalaried) trainees.

You will be employed as a an unqualified teacher and receive a salary as you train (£22,601 in 2025-2026). Your school will also pay your tuition fees for you. At the end of the course you will receive QTS.

For a fee, some salaried trainees do opt to study for a Postgraduate Certificate in Education too, so please let us know if this is something that would interest you.
