Assessment Only
The Assessment Only route takes into account an individual’s past and present work experience; you are potentially able to qualify in a much shorter timeframe than if you were to undertake a PGCE and / or SCITT teacher training. You will also benefit from remaining in paid employment throughout your assessment, with the chance of improved promotion prospects after you have fully qualified, along with an increased salary (qualified teachers typically earn, on average, at least £6000 more than their unqualified colleagues).
Please contact Kirti Gupta at kirti@astra-alliance.com or on 01494 787573 if you need any further information on the Assessment Only route.
