We offer a one-year full-time school-based route to becoming a qualified primary teacher with a specialism in early years or early primary (3-7 years old).

Our core aim is to help you become a confident, knowledgeable and highly employable teacher with a passion for working with young children to give them the best starting point in life, whatever their circumstances.

Our high-quality mentors and tutors have extensive practical experience and will help you succeed by offering consistent guidance and personalised support throughout the course.

We are based at a centre of outstanding early years integrated practice, St Thomas Nursery School and Children’s Centre in central Birmingham.

All placements are set at a diverse range of 'Good' or 'Outstanding' schools across the West Midlands (Birmingham, Solihull, Warwickshire).

Alongside the Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), awarded by Teach First, this course also carries a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) awarded by Sheffield Hallam University.
