Thank you Petite Primary. Very useful indeed
Thanks 😊 I hope it'll help x
What would you say is the easiest starting point.
I know it’s a tough career, but I want to ease into it. Get a grasp of how the courses go and the training.
Note: I’m not into university. So if you can advice whilst avoiding university options, that would be great.
But if it’s not possible get into teaching full time without university experience: then I understand and I’ll have to bite the bullet.
Thank you in advance.
You do require a degree unfortunately, however, a teacher training apprenticeship is currently being discussed, so do research in case that seems more up your street!
@@PetitePrimary Thanks! 😁
Just wondering if you considered teaching in secondary schools, and what made you decide primary? I'm considering a PGCE or SKITT and have been binge watching your content! 🤣
I think I'd prefer sixth form or university over general secondary haha. I'm not at all confident around teens and my behaviour management strategies for them are limited 😅
@@PetitePrimary That's my thinking 🤣
@@vernajewel91 Sounds like you have an easy decision then!
Thank you for your informative video. What route should an international applicant (seeking a career change) take who has a first degree, a master's, and a PGCE all from their country, as well as two years of teaching experience (mid 2000's)? I also have Maths and English o level certificates, and I'm a CPA with many years of experience.
Contact a teacher training provider and see if this would be accepted as an equivalent. If not, I would try and apply for an assessment only route as you already have plenty of experience under your belt. Hope that helps x
What is the best route to become a teacher without a degree in your opinion 💕
You need a degree unfortunately. Do you want to do primary?
@@PetitePrimary I'm currently doing my level 2 in early years, what should I do after I've done this to help towards becoming a primary teacher?
Hi I am currently a bsc mathematics and a MSc data science holder. So I wish to. Have career in teaching . So what exact qualifications do I need more
You would have to do teacher training (with or without a PGCE is irrelevant) which will award you QTS. This stands for Qualified Teacher Status which is what you need to teach.
Can u do primary education with QTs and then PGCE?
You can do it afterwards, but it's manageable simultaneously. It's the QTS you need to teach, the PGCE is just for academic development really. If you would prefer doing a QTS course without the assignments, it's not compulsory to do a PGCE afterwards. Personal preference x
@@PetitePrimary thank you 👍
@@marymmoon1190 You're welcome 🤗 Have you seen my video on how to apply for teacher training? X
@@PetitePrimary No, would U be able to put the link here for me?
@@marymmoon1190 yes of course! Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/n8tHqZyfjIY/v-deo.htmlsi=NH23NH3oamNXcrPm
Do follow me on Instagram too @thepetiteprimary if you have any questions x
Hi. I have a question. If I wanted to teach older children, would I still need a QTS or would having a PGCE be enough? Thanks.
If you want to teach at uni, you don't need QTS. If you want to teach at secondary level, QTS is required. Hope that helps
Hi I am hoping to become a reception teacher. Would I have to do EYITT or Primary Education QTS after my BA degree? Many thanks
I remember us discussing this on Instagram. Were you able to secure an answer? X
hi , i wanted to ask can you do any btec level 3 , to do the primary education with qts at uni ?x
Everyone uni will have a different entry requirement, a bit like any uni course, so you'll just have to look at their requirements. BTECs will be fine, as long as they provide you with enough UCAS points xx
Hey thank you for a very informative video! 😌 I just have a question I really appreciate if you could help. I have been offered a place at uni to do the childhood, education and youth studies undergraduate degree. I haven't achieve my GCSE maths and science C grade or above but I did have a BTEC Level 3 qualification and a level 2 nvq so I was unsure how I got given an offer with only those and not a pass in my maths and science. Would I still be able to progress further to do a PGCE after my course and do training to become a teacher? Or do I need to do my Maths and Science before I do the course even if I've recieved an offer.
Thank you for your help! - Hollie xx
Unless it's changed since when I did it, the system used to be you COULD get an offer, but it was conditional provided you passed the GCSEs. If you didn't obtain the minimum requirement, you would not then be able to continue onto the course x
How can I join the link
Hi there, do you mean the link to apply for teacher training? If it's a link I mentioned in the video, it will be in the description. Let me know if you can't find it x
I am a qualified teacher with DIPLOMA IN BASIC EDUCATION in Ghana, West Africa. Can i teach with this qualification in the UK
Sorry, I've only just seen this. Did you find out in the end?
if you have a degree in a subject very closely related to a subject but not the thing itself will schools generally accept you for secondary? eg i am with linguistics degree but going for modern foreign languages, i know some training courses might accept this but will it affect anything else more serious later on?
If you're talking about chances of securing a job afterwards, loads of different factors come into this. There's no set answer. If you've passed your training though, your experiences on that course and the qualification will have more of a say in you getting shortlisted than your degree. Eg. I've met some primary teachers that did a degree in law before training, but they still got jobs. Your first step is just going for it and applying for training 😊
PGCE or M.Ed is better for who want to become a teaching professional ? I have completed Mtec in computer science .
Most teacher training courses do a PGCE alongside it but neither are what you NEED to teach. It is a QTS which means a qualified teacher status which you need to teach (unless you want to teach at uni level but in that case you either need to be doing a PhD or have a lot of years of experience in a specific industry). Hope that helps 😊
Hi I have a bachelor's degree in law .Passed GCE English but failed maths.I have no background in teaching. I want to do the PGCE in UK .Could this lead me to teacing please. or could you guide me to the best route possible please
I'm unsure you could get onto any route without passing GCSE maths first. Alternatively, you could try apply but they might make it a conditional offer that you pass your GCSE maths first
Is it harder to get into school direct compared to uni led for primary PGCE
I'm not sure if official harder but school direct courses definitely have fewer places so it may be more competitive/places fill quicker. Will you be applying for 2023?
Hi Annelies, I'm in my last year of my BA what do I do next?- I would like to teach in secondary schools but from talking to teachers they say why on earth do you want to be a teacher🤣 then say 'you must do a masters' what does this mean? PGCE? or do I just choose a master's I'm interested in then a PGCE?
Hi Oliver,
To become a secondary teacher, you must apply to a course to obtain a QTS. PGCE is an additional qualification but is not compulsory to teach. The QTS is the compulsory part. This can be done through applying for teacher training, writing a personal statement and then choosing your provider. Happy to send you my link to the application video I've made xx
@@PetitePrimaryYh can you send me also please??
@@jameshudson395 Hi James, here's the video to help you apply 😊 ua-cam.com/video/n8tHqZyfjIY/v-deo.htmlsi=IQ3z9gef4-Quwf0F
Hi
Does these routes apply to special education teachers aswell ?
Hi! Great question! Some courses you can do an SEN specialism in but you don't need it formally to become a future SEN teacher (would help though)!

I completed b.ed in India...it is helpful to teach in UK?or need QTS?
Every qualified teacher needs a QTS in England. Even in England a bachelors alone isn't enough unless it accredited QTS too x
@@PetitePrimary how to get it
@@nazimacaseybarreto7032 if you already have an undergraduate (bachelors) degree, you can apply to do a QTS qualification. I did a whole video on this. Would you like the link?
Hi what is the lowest cost option post graduation to become a primary school teacher. Many of the apprenticeships offered are for secondary teaching. For reference I’m doing a degree in English Language and Linguistics
Lowest cost option after salaried route and apprenticeship is to get a bursary for some specific secondary subjects. These vary and primary is not paid for. There are no cheaper routes sadly. Unless salaried, all postgraduate routes cost the same £9250
@@PetitePrimary does teach first and apprenticeships offer teacher training specifically for primary ?
@@ruqayyah4948 Apologies, I did forget about Teach First. Yes, they do offer primary courses
Hello, I've just started looking at career pathways and wondering if I can get some advice? I don't know if I want to be a primary school teacher or secondary? Also I was wondering if I went to a school as a student am I still aloud to teach there I I become a teacher?
Hi Niamh, there are certainly pros and cons to primary teaching and secondary teaching. You can certainly try and experience both, however, unless there is a vacancy after you pass your teacher training, and you are successful in your application and interview, there is no guarantee you will get a job in the same school. Hope that helps xx
Why as a teacher, would you want engage others in our underpaid and over stressed profession. I have handed my notice in
I'm simply making informative content for those that are scouring the internet for information anyways. Best of luck in your upcoming ventures post teaching? Xx
Most of the teachers I know regret getting into it. It can be an extremely stressful and nasty job, especially as you get higher up the ladder. My wife is a Head of school teacher, she's been doing it for 20 years. She has just handed in her notice, which I'm really pleased about.
What advice would you give a creative who is truly passionate about music but has a degree in education and teaching supply for 3 years please. Not sure whether to train for QTS
Sorry, I've only just seen this comment! Have you decided on your next steps yet? If you'd like to teach music, absolutely go for it! If not, you could always try and run local choirs or orchestras without QTS but it'd still be a great experience. If you've been supply teaching for 3 years, you could see if you would be considered for a salaried teacher training position? Xx
