Experience

While experience is not a condition of entry for initial teacher education courses we recommend that potential apprentices take up opportunities to gain a realistic understanding of whether teaching is right for them. The Get Into Teaching School Experience Programme offers opportunities around the country to book a day's worth of experience.
