FAQs

Q: How does YWTT keep up with the latest educational research and teaching methodologies?

The YWTT team are all expert teachers who through their national work remain at the forefront of educational research ensuring that our trainees receive the highest quality curriculum, with the most recent evidence embedded throughout.

Q: Can I choose which school I complete my placement at?

We work with over 70 partner institutions . Many of these are listed when you apply for the YWTT courses on DfE Apply. It is important that the two placements are in different settings to give our trainees exposure to different school contexts. It is possible to request particular schools and we do our best to accommodate these requests, however occasionally it is not possible for a school to offer a placement in a particular key stage or subject. Where this is the case, we will work with you to agree an alternative.

Q: What is the ratio of classroom-based training to practical teaching experience?

A typical week will see you immersed in the classroom Monday-Thursday and in our purpose-built training centre each Friday. There will be times when you will be required to attend other settings such as induction week, immersion days and Intensive Training and Practice weeks.

Q: Can I train part time or have another job while completing the training programme?

We are always happy to chat about part time requirements which enable our trainees to work alongside their studies.

Q: How long is the training?

Our programme starts in September and if you are full time, you will complete the course by July the following year.
