Graduate Trainee Teacher: Earn as you train!
Reigate College’s two-year Graduate Trainee Teacher contract, leading to a Professional Graduate Certificate in Education (ProfGCE Level 6) is the preferred route for the majority of the College’s own trainee teachers.
This is because rather than clocking up additional debt, you’ll be able to earn as you train. Successful candidates are offered a two-year training contract, with the course fees of £6,000 paid for by the College.
Graduate Trainee Teacher vacancies are typically advertised between January and June – see our current Trainee Teacher Vacancies.
If appointed, the two year ProfGCE route allows you to:
- Acquire a nationally recognised Further Education and Skills teacher training qualification accredited by the University of Brighton.
- Teach a subject you are really passionate about (at A Level or equivalent) to students who are engaged with learning.
- Gain teaching experience from the start.
- Be allocated a subject specialist Mentor whose role will be to support you throughout the two year course.
- Be in an extremely good position to be offered a permanent job at the end of the two years.
See our current Trainee Teacher Vacancies.
Vacancies are usually posted January to June.
