Graduate Trainee Teacher: Earn as you train!
Reigate College’s two-year Graduate Trainee Teacher contract, leading to a Professional Graduate Certificate in Education (ProfGCE Level 6) is the preferred route for the majority of the College’s own trainee teachers.
This is because rather than clocking up additional debt, you’ll be able to earn as you train. Successful candidates are offered a two-year training contract, a salary of up to £21,150 per annum, with course fees worth £6,000 over two years paid for by the College.
Graduate Trainee Teacher vacancies are typically advertised between January and June – see our current Trainee Teacher Vacancies.
If appointed, the two year ProfGCE route allows you to:
- Acquire a nationally recognised Further Education and Skills teacher training qualification accredited by the University of Brighton.
- Teach a subject you are really passionate about (at A Level or equivalent) to students who are engaged with learning.
- Gain teaching experience from the start.
- Be allocated your own Mentor whose role will be to support you throughout the two year course.
- Be in an extremely good position to be offered a permanent job at the end of the two years.
- The qualification can also provide a route into teaching in 11-18 schools if you achieve QTLS (Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills status) after completing the PGCE see https://set.et-foundation.co.uk/professionalism/qtls/
See our current Trainee Teacher Vacancies.
Vacancies are usually posted January to June.
