The Selection Process

After considering your application form we will invite you to a Selection Day during which you will be given a course overview and asked to take part in assessment exercises. If you are shortlisted to take part in the Selection Day you will also be asked to arrange a short visit to an early years setting, school or college and they will be asked to complete a short report about your time there.

The interview is an individual one with a specialist tutor and will normally involve a teacher from one of our partnership schools. As well as your academic background, we need to consider whether you have the personal qualities and experience necessary to work as a competent teacher. The interview also gives you the chance to look in more detail at our course and assess for yourself whether it is right one for you.
