To ask how much realistically does it cost to train as an adult as an adult as a teacher?

[Scroremanga]

Hi all my partner wants to do his pgse this Sept. He thinks doing it part time and working part time is feasible, is that right? He could earn 800 pounds a month part time (I've got that mortgage covered, he pays bills and food)
I'm thinking he is going to be on a very low wage for the 2 years of training then 2 years of nqt is that about right...
I don't think he has enough experience for teach first as he's making the move from a different career and has done about 4 weeks of voluntary work in schools.
Would really welcome any advice to help us plan the finances.
Thanks!

I used to work in schools, and I still do a voluntary role in the education sector, part of which involves interviewing candidates for teaching roles, so I can tell you that it is true that men will very easily get into training routes and jobs for primary schools, I’m not saying it’s right btw as you see further on in the discussion, but it is certainly true in the schools I have worked in.
