  • GCSE science Grade 4 / C or above (or equivalent)

You do not need to obtain these qualifications before you apply but you do need to have gained the appropriate qualifications before you start the course.

(Please note that Level 2 Adult Numeracy and Literacy are not accepted as equivalents)

2. Degree

If your qualifications were not gained in the UK, you can visit the National Academic Register Centre (NARIC) website to find out whether your qualifications are considered to be equivalent to UK GCSEs and degrees. Please note that the onus is on you to prove that your qualifications are equivalent and you must include a NARIC statement with your application verifying this.

3. Skills Tests

In addition, all trainees are required to pass Professional Skills Tests before they are able to start training to teach. It is the responsibility of the trainee to register and submit themselves for these tests. Trainees have more than one opportunity to pass these tests but must achieve a pass before they can commence teacher training.
