This Primary Education Teacher Degree Apprenticeship (TDA) is a new apprenticeship route offered in England that allows you to study for a degree while working in a school setting. This programme leads to a Primary Education BA (Hons) with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), subject to successful completion of all course and assessment requirements.
This course offers a degree-level qualification leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), with tuition fees covered through your employer's apprenticeship levy and the opportunity to earn while you learn.
This course may be suitable for those already working in schools, such as teaching assistants, higher-level teaching assistants (HLTA) or unqualified teachers. During the apprenticeship, your school is required to employ you as an unqualified teacher.
The National Institute of Teaching and Education (NITE) is accredited by the Department for Education (DfE)1.
Learn about pedagogy, subject knowledge and professional knowledge. Develop the skills and confidence needed to become an effective primary teacher.
The course comprises 12 academic modules of 30 credits each studied full-time over three years and 2 months. Alongside these, you will complete three practical placement modules each year. See the How you’ll learn section for more details.
We regularly review our course content, to make it relevant and current for the benefit of our students. For these reasons, course modules may be updated.
