 Why choose an ITT course local to you?

Choosing an ITT course that is located close to your home offers numerous personal and professional benefits.  

Being close to home can provide greater flexibility in your schedule and make it easier to receive support from your mentors, school leaders and peers.

Having a localised approach to teacher training can enhance your sense of community, making the experience more personal and relevant to the specific needs of your area. This is particularly important to help you understand the educational challenges and opportunities within your community.

Additionally, some schools prefer to employ teachers who have been trained locally, as these teachers are likely to be familiar with the community and its needs.
