Our Train to Teach events will provide you with a wealth of information and help you turn questions to confidence on your journey to the classroom. Some events are in person and others replicate the experience online. Book your place. Our Facebook groups for aspiring teachers and people thinking of a career change to teaching offer a really friendly, supportive place to connect with other people applying for teacher training and ask any questions you might have.
