WHY TRAIN WITH US?
“I wanted to say that I am grateful and I feel lucky to be part of such well run training program! I feel I have learnt a lot and the journey has been great so far! It is clear that you put your heart and a lot of work in it. The provided training experiences are always amazing, very helpful and inspirational!
They have really inspired me to try new things and more importantly they have worked! This has helped me to see a whole new approach that I was missing out on before! Here is why I wanted to say thank you- for knowing how to spark the knowledge and for providing the opportunities for it to grow!” Emiliya Velinova, QTS July 2019
“It has been brilliant, I have enjoyed this year so much more than I ever expected to, and it’s really upsetting that it has ended like this, but I know I am ready to be a great teacher because of this course.” Megan Taylor, QTS July 2020
The training sessions were up to date, varied,enjoyable and the depth of content was excellent. NQT, June 2018

There is an excellent balance between gaining theoretical knowledge and practical experience.” Sarah Chuckla, NQT 2018 at Wilbury
