Course Overview

The Primary Education (QTS) Degree Apprenticeship BA is an ideal pathway for aspiring primary school teachers, particularly those currently working as Teaching Assistants or Learning Support Assistants. This Level 6 apprenticeship offers a unique opportunity to earn a salary while studying towards a degree and achieving Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). The programme is designed to be completed in four years, though there is scope for Recognising Prior Learning which may reduce the duration to three years. Apprentices will combine on-campus study and online learning with practical, school-based experience. Throughout the course, students will develop essential knowledge in core subjects like English, Mathematics, and Science, alongside foundation subjects, while gaining the professional skills required to manage a classroom effectively. With a focus on inclusive practice, safeguarding, and creative pedagogy, this course prepares apprentices to support children aged 5 to 11 in diverse educational settings. The institution reserves the right to manage future changes to courses as necessary, ensuring that academic standards and quality remain the priority for all learners.
