Why choose an ITT course local to you? 

Choosing an ITT course that is local to you comes with many benefits, both personal and professional.

Being placed near your home allows you to have greater flexibility in your schedule and makes it much easier for you to get support from your mentors, school leaders and peers.

A localised approach to teacher training can also help to build your sense of community, making your experience much more personal and relevant to the specific needs of your local area. This is especially important to help you contextualise the challenges and opportunities within your community when it comes to the education system.

Some schools also prefer to employ teachers who have been trained locally, since they will be familiar with the area, the community and its needs.
