Learn about the teacher training options available within school environments, and choose from school-based training schemes, such as the School Direct Training Programme, School Direct Training Programme (salaried) or school-centred initial teacher training (SCITT).

These courses are taught on the job with the support of experienced teachers. Lectures or discussions that cover the same material as college-based or university courses may make up part of these programmes.
