To take Primary or Secondary Initial Teacher Training (ITT) as a teacher apprenticeship, you must already be employed by a school before the programme starts. Your school must pay you on the unqualified teacher pay scale and provide a full-time, 15-month contract of at least 30 hours.
How your school confirms your employment
Your employer must complete an employer declaration form confirming that your employment began before the apprenticeship programme starts.
If you already work for the school, your employment start date is the date you originally began working there.
