Course summary

This course aims to develop your knowledge of primary and early years education, equipping you with the skills needed to progress towards becoming a teacher in a primary or early years setting, or for other roles and careers within the field of education. Course completion does not result in a recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), a requirement for becoming a primary school teacher. However, Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) can be achieved through successful completion of a postgraduate teacher training course (such as a Primary Education PGCE). The course offers an accelerated route to completing an undergraduate degree. In two years, you’ll gain the requirements needed to apply for a Postgraduate teacher training course. You can then undertake further study and potentially look forward to a career in early years, primary schools, or higher and further education.
