If you have completed a degree course and you have thought about a career in teaching this is an ideal opportunity to draw on the expert advice of outstanding teachers. Working in partnership with local Catholic secondary schools, allows us to customise the training to meet the needs of both the school and the trainees, who gain practical experience from day one. It is a great way to learn and qualify to become a teacher and become one of the next generation of outstanding Catholic teachers and leaders.
