Become a great teacher. Make a difference.

At United Teaching, we bring out the best in every trainee. Our Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ programme combines research led training, expert mentoring, and dedicated wellbeing support to help you become the teacher you aspire to be.

As a school-based teacher training programme (SCITT), you will gain real classroom experience from day one. Many trainees choose this route because it offers a highly practical and immersive way to train, learning directly in schools, receiving daily support from experienced teachers, and building confidence through hands-on teaching from the start. Our one-year route offers both salaried and fee-paying options for aspiring primary and secondary teachers, leading to QTS with the option to add a PGCE.
 
With more than 110 schools across England, you can train in a location that works for you.
