Teacher Degree Apprenticeship (TDA)

South Farnham SCITT is delighted to be working in partnership with the University of Brighton to deliver the Teacher Degree Apprenticeship.

South Farnham Educational Trust supports apprenticeship programmes and has played a leading role in the creation and development of the Teacher Degree Apprenticeship standard. SFET chairs the Teacher Degree Apprenticeship Trailblazer Group and has been working closely alongside colleagues at the Department for Education to design this undergraduate employment-based route.
