You'll explore developmental stages within secondary education while receiving guidance to excel in teaching.

Dedicated schools with qualified mentors will guide Associate Teachers toward Qualified Teacher Status, aligning with Wales' Professional Standards for Teaching and Leadership.
Expert university tutors and school-based educators deliver engaging sessions and robust support, preparing graduates to teach both within and outside Wales. While this English-medium program places students exclusively in English-medium schools, Welsh language proficiency isn't required for application. As part of our bilingual commitment, we'll assist all students - from beginners to fluent speakers - in understanding Welsh culture and language development.
