• You must be employed (either paid or voluntary) within an education setting for at least four hours per week.
• You must have an enhanced police clearance via the completion of a DBS form
• You must have a pass in an appropriate foundation degree or equivalent (must have a significant equivalence of content to the ECS degree such as FD Teaching Assistants or FD Playwork, or equivalent qualification e.g. HND Education)
• If English is not your first language you will be expected to have achieved an IELTS score  6.5 or above (with a minimum of 6.0 in each category).

This course is full-time and will take one year of study to complete. The mode of attendance for lectures is only three hours per week on one morning per week. In addition, you are expected to be in your setting for four hours a week.

At the interview, you will be asked to demonstrate that your current English and maths skills are at level 2. Although you may hold an English and maths qualification which isn’t a GCSE, we strongly advise that you have or are working towards a GCSE in English and maths, especially if you are interested in teacher training. If you are an internal student applying to us directly from your Foundation Degree, please seek guidance from the Admissions Team.
