The initial stage of selection is reviewing your application. We ensure your qualifications meet our entry requirements and your personal statement indicates you have a passion for education and your specialised subject. If you are successful, you will be invited to interview at one of our training schools.

The interview day is usually within 7 - 10 days of receiving your application. The interview process will include the following:

• opportunity to ask questions/obtain further information • a panel interview • a subject-specific taught lesson • subject knowledge assessment

You’ll need the right to study in the UK. You already have this if, for example, you:

• are an Irish citizen
• have settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme (you may still be able to apply)
• have indefinite leave to remain in the UK

If you do not already have the right to study in the UK, you may need to apply for a visa.

Sponsorship for a student visa is not available for this course.

If you need a visa, filter your course search to find courses with visa sponsorship.

You can also learn more about different types of visa which allow you to train to be a teacher without being sponsored.

International qualifications

If your qualifications come from a non-UK institution, we may want to see a ‘statement of comparability’ from UK ENIC. This will show us how they compare to UK qualifications.

You can call Get Into Teaching on 0800 389 2500 for:

• guidance on the UK equivalents of your qualifications
• a free statement of comparability once you’ve submitted your application (if we ask you for this)
