Course content

The Graduate Entry Mainstream (GEM) pathway on the EYITT programme is designed for those who wish to work with children from 0-5yrs old. Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS) will be recommended for graduates who have met all the Early Years Teachers' Standards. This is different from Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), which is required to lead learning in Local Authority maintained schools. EYTS enables people to teach 0-5yr olds within all other areas of the sector, which is the provision where most children in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) attend.
