Job description

Ambition Institutes Teacher Training programme sets you on the path to becoming an excellent teacher. Join us and give every child the best possible start in life.

Five reasons to join our programme

  • Improve childrens lives: we are a national education charity with a mission to help young people reach their full potential, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
  • Learn with Englands largest professional development provider for teachers and school leaders: in 2024/25 1 in 9 teachers and leaders in England developed on our programmes.
  • Train in school: youll complete most of your training in your main placement school and will also gain further skills and experience in a contrasting school. During this time, youll get the high-quality academic training youd expect to get from a university, combined with immersive classroom learning.
  • Be guided by a mentor: youll have weekly one-to-one guidance from a dedicated mentor. Your mentoring sessions will include protected time to discuss your wellbeing, coaching for your classroom practice and support with planning for lessons. This will build your confidence and allow you to put your learning into practice in a structured, step-by-step way, before taking it live in the classroom.
  • Qualify as a teacher in 11 months: on successful completion of the programme, you will have Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) and 60 credits towards a masters degree.
