Student Comments
"Having moved from industry, having a greater amount of time experiencing “Teaching For Learning” rather than listening to people talking about it, or reading about it, prepared me well for my first few years in my teaching career" - Former Trainee"We have some real characters on our course, it makes learning interesting and fun. The PGCE course is hard work, all trainees have good and bad days so support from fellow trainees or mentors are vital. There has always been another trainee around to talk to or give me encouragement (or a hug) when things haven't gone as planned" - Current Trainee
"I struggled in one of my placements; I felt I did not fit in at the school. The SWTT management and my subject mentor, quickly swapped my placement school which transformed my teaching experience" - Former Trainee Now Teaching in Partner School
"As a mature student who has changed careers, I fully endorse this course, the lecturers and the subject mentors for creating a comprehensive teacher training environment. If you want an easy time with lazy days and not much effort required PGCE is not for you. If however you are passionate about your subject, have a desire to enthuse young minds then this is the course for you. The more you put into the 40 weeks training, the more you'll get out." - Current Trainee
