  • Why Mid Essex?
    Notley High School & Braintree Sixth Form Notley Road, Braintree, CM7 1WY 01376 556 398 [email protected] www.midessexitt.com What is Mid Essex ITT? Mid Essex is a school-based Initial Teacher Training scheme. This means that you will undertake most of your training within a school environment. We will train you to teach at secondary school level. Tell me about the course.... • There is a combination of school based training & provider-led training • You will train in two different schools • You will have a visit to a primary school • You will also visit a special school • General Professional Studies takes place every Thursday morning • Subject Specific Training takes place every Thursday afternoon • Support of at least three different mentors How long is the course? One year. The course will start the first week of September 2016 and will run until 30th June 2017. The course is full-time. What qualification will I get at the end? If you successfully complete the course, you will be awarded Qualified Teacher Status or “QTS”. Is QTS of equal value to a PGCE? QTS is the professional qualification that is required to teach in state schools in England and Wales. However, regulations vary in different countries – some insist on the academic qualification of PGCE. If you intend to teach abroad you should check the regulations in the relevant country. Will I automatically gain a PGCE? No. Salaried trainees work towards a QTS only. However, fee-paying trainees work towards a QTS and a PGCE. Both routes are equally promoted and valued and we have found that schools will want to employ great teachers regardless.
