How it works

We believe in classroom-based teacher training and that learning is most effective through deliberate, guided practice.

All our trainees must be employed by a school and able to practice what they learn each week through teaching. 

Trainees attend live online lectures and tutorials delivered by experienced University of Buckingham staff. 

Each trainee’s work is guided by regular meetings with in-school mentors and/or tutors or supervisors, depending on the nature of the course.

Trainees are assessed through methods, such as lesson observation, regular progress checks and written assessments.
