Location
Where do you want to train and why? If you’re a parent, it might be important to be local for school drop-offs and pick-ups. Or are you relocating? If so, it’s important to explore training providers in that area. Our advisors can inform you of the partners in your chosen area and advise which might suit you.
Eligibility
Do you have the right qualifications to teach in the UK? If you have overseas qualifications or you yourself are from overseas and looking to relocate to the UK, it's a good time to explore visas.
Our advisors can put you in contact with an organisation that can help you compare qualifications, explain the eligibility criteria to you, and explore options like equivalency tests.
