Elligibility

iTeach is open to people, with a relevant degree, who are classified by the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) as Home/EU Students. The iTeach Programme is not available to students based overseas or overseas trained teachers at this time.

If your qualifications were obtained overseas you must provide NARIC certification alongside your application form otherwise it will not be considered.



Programme Requirements
Minimize

iTeach is a full-time programme. While the online elements of the programme are flexible and can be fitted in around employment, the programme requires students to be committed to extensive study. Online tutorials are generally conducted on week-day evenings between 6 pm and 9 pm.

Students are required to undertake school placements at different times throughout the year and it is necessary for all students to ensure that they can be available at these times. Block placements are generally 6 or 7, 7 and 10 weeks (120 days).

Although the programme is available throughout the UK, potential applicants must ensure that they are able to complete the majority of their teaching practice in England. (Subject to conditions, it may be possible to carry out a single block of teaching practice outside England.)

iTeach does not pay for childcare.



Qualifications
Minimize

Candidates must possess a degree or equivalent qualification by the time the programme starts. A substantial part of the degree should normally be relevant to the subject specialism to be taken in the PGCE course, and this should be demonstrated in detail in the application by listing courses studied.

Candidates must also have GCSE Grade C or equivalent in Maths and English (see below for details).

Before admission to the programme, all students will have Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and Occupational Health Clearance (OHC) checks.


GCSE Equivalency Tests
Candidates without Maths and/or English equivalent to GCSE Grade C will be required to undertake the Maths and/or English Equivalency Tests. The tests last for two hours and they are undertaken at either the Canterbury Christ Church University Canterbury or Medway campus. Trainees may only sit one test per session (either Maths or English) and can only take each subject test once. There is currently a charge of
£15 per test.

Trainees should use several different intermediate level revision guides, written by different examination boards. iTeach cannot advise on the specific subject areas that the tests examine.
