At Britannia School of Academics, we pride ourselves on being a pioneer of change so that we can meet the diverse needs of our trainee teachers. Therefore, in response to a huge demand for work placements, we have launched the following scheme:

Once you complete your work placement and the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training, you will of course be eligible to teach any subject that you so wish. Your choice or allocation of subject for the purpose of this placement in no way impacts your eligibility to teach other subjects in your professional career.

Your placement will start on completion of Unit 1 of your Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training. This allows for teachers to familiarise themselves with the basics of education and training prior to teaching.

The start date of the course is flexible, as is the case with all other programmes on offer at Britannia School of Academics. For further information about the course including FAQs, please visit the course page here.

If you are interested in applying for the course including the work placement, please complete the below form. We only have 20 work placements available to start in 2024 so we encourage interested individuals to apply as soon as they can.

Disclaimer: This qualification will be replaced with the new
Level 5 Diploma in Teaching (FE & Skills)
starting in September 2024.
