This was helpful.I am a qualified teacher with QTS. I am not working as a teacher now though, so can't be observed in the workplace. Can I join this course?
Answer:Hi Anne, if you already hold the QTS you would not need the full diploma which is the above course you are enquiring about. The best option would be a standalone. However, there are observation elements/teaching hour requirements where you would need to be delivering session in a voluntary or paid placement. Thank you.
This was helpful.I have a levels in sociology psychology and law, a certificate of higher education in law. I work as a cover supervisor in school will I be accepted?
Answer:Hi, yes that job role would be suitable to do this course as long as you are delivering English sessions, Thanks
