Train to Teach

Are you considering a career in education?
 
We're pleased to announce that Cornwall Education Learning Trust is offering a range of pathways into primary and secondary teaching, starting in September 2024.  This aims to make teacher training in Cornwall even more accessible.
 
CELT is offering the following Higher Education courses in partnership with Marjon University Cornwall:
 
  • FdA Teaching and Learning
  • Initial Teacher Training (PGCE Primary or Secondary Education)
Why choose us for your teacher training?
 
Cornwall Education Learning Trust is a family of 16 academies in Mid-Cornwall.  The Trust is able to offer primary and secondary teaching placements within our academies, meaning we already have strong relationships in place to support trainees every step of the way.
 
CELT takes a collaborative approach to teaching and learning and so you can expect opportunities to learn from teachers across the Trust to build on strengths, collective resources and leading research-based practice. 
 
We understand the barriers to Higher Education in Cornwall, which is what has motivated us to offer courses in Cornwall in partnership with Marjon University Cornwall.  Our training centre in Bodmin will offer the opportunity to complete your training locally.
 
Successful applicants will benefit from Marjon Teacher Education Partnership's extensive experience spanning over 180 years, preparing them as teachers for Cornwall to excel and lead.
