This programme allows you to gain the necessary experience required to be confident and successful when you do decide to begin your teacher training.

This programme involves working as a teaching assistant/cover supervisor on a 12 month basis (from September 2019) within our client schools located across the Teesside area, prior to beginning a teacher training programme in September 2020.
