Full time programmes are 5-days per week delivered between September - July (within one academic year). Part-Time programmes are 3-days per week for 5 school terms, (spanning two academic years and qualifying at Easter).

All of our programmes have the flexible option to earn Qualified Teacher Status alongside a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) which is delivered by Liverpool Hope University (LHU). For colleagues on the Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship, if you choose to complete the PGCE, this must be paid separately from the Apprenticeship Levy.
