Becoming a teacher without a degree

Hi,

Having noticed a few historic threads on here asking about entering teaching without a degree, there is now a new route into teaching through a teaching degree apprenticeship (TDA).

The ones flagged on the .gov website below are for the pilot Secondary Maths apprenticeships but others are becoming available, for example in Primary teaching.

Best wishes,

A new route to become a teacher without a degree, a teacher degree apprenticeship (TDA) lets you work at a school while you qualify as a teacher.

The course you've linked is 4 years long and includes doing a degree so its not really "getting into teaching without a degree" its more a new route to getting a degree & becoming a teacher.

The main advantage might be cost - no tuition fees & no loan & you can be earning (albeit a reduced wage) while doing it.

We've already had one of these threads zapped for spam. Could you please declare if this is promotional content for De Montfort?

In response to the above posts, it is a route for becoming a teacher, designed for those who don’t already have a degree, and as has been mentioned (in common with all apprenticeships) has the advantage of tuition fees being covered and a wage whilst you train.

The post was shared for information, for those who may not be aware of this new route into teaching, and does not promote any one course at any one education provider.

Hope it is of interest.

Cheers
Simon

I actually think this is a helpful initiative.
