Which route is best for me?
Trainees on all routes receive the same training and level of support at CTTC. All routes lead to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and to the award of a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), which is accredited by the University of Suffolk.
Trainees applying for the salaried or apprenticeship route need to have extensive experience of working in a school and need to have received a firm offer of employment from a school prior to application. CTTC are unable to arrange direct employment with schools and recommend applicants without an offer of employment apply for the tuition fee route. Salaried and apprentice trainees are paid by their employing school on the Unqualified Teacher Scale, at a pay point decided by their employer.
Trainees applying for the tuition fee route pay a tuition fee of £9,200. Tuition fees can be paid using Student Finance.
