Drama Teacher Training
There are many routes into teacher training, from ITT (Initial Teacher Training) provided by a University in conjunction with a teaching school, or on the job training as an unqualified teacher or through the assessment-only QTS route. Knowing whether you’d like to specialise in primary or secondary education is a good place to start, and then you can start to look for school experience and training providers to suit your needs.
The Government’s Get into Teaching website provides clear explanations of the training routes and funding available, so this is a useful site if you aren’t sure how you’d like to train.
