Initial Teacher Training in your local area

Choosing an ITT course close to your home has many personal and professional advantages. 

One of the key benefits is being in close proximity to your mentors, school leaders and peers. Having access to guidance and encouragement from these individuals can significantly improve your learning experience, making it easier for you to seek assistance when needed.

A localised approach to ITT can help you to foster a deeper connection to your community. This is particularly important to help you understand the educational challenges and opportunities within your community, while also preparing you to become an effective educator.

Many schools choose to employ teachers who were trained locally, as these teachers usually possess a deeper understanding of the local communities’ characteristics, needs and values.
