Teachers: Training
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether people with a Level 5 foundation degree can undertake the Teacher Degree Apprenticeship in primary education to achieve a Level 6 qualification and Qualified Teacher Status concurrently without completing a separate top-up year.
Answered by Georgia Gould
We recognise the importance of clear training routes to ensure schools have the skilled teachers they need. The Teacher Degree Apprenticeship enables trainees to gain a full undergraduate degree alongside Qualified Teacher Status while working in a school.
To be eligible, applicants must meet the entry requirements set out in the Initial Teacher Training criteria and the learner eligibility requirements set out in the Apprenticeship Funding Rules. Individuals with an existing Level 5 qualification may apply. More information on eligibility and how to apply is available on the Get Into Teaching website here: https://getintoteaching.education.gov.uk/.
