Ruby

Secondary PGTA Trainee

"I chose the PGTA route into teaching because I wanted to have the opportunity to be fully immersed in school life from the outset. I was keen to gain practical classroom experience alongside my academic training, and the apprenticeship route allowed me to do this while developing my confidence in a real teaching environment."

"This route into teaching has allowed me to feel supported, secure, and creatively fulfilled while training in the school I love. I would wholeheartedly encourage others thinking about a career in teaching to consider an apprenticeship with the support from NTTC. The apprenticeship has been transformational for my career."

“When I had my interview with NTTC, I just felt so at home. I knew that whatever the result from my other teacher training application, that this was the place where I wanted to be because I felt so comfortable.”

“Both of my mentors were amazing. They were so supportive and are masters of their trade. I’ve learnt incredible amounts from them and I’ve taken things from their practice into mine.”
