Q. Can I take your courses if I am not based in London?

A. We run both part time and full time courses. These take place over a maximum of 2 days a week. This means that students can feasibly commute from other cities in the United Kingdom, and even from Europe.

Q. I understand that Traine-Traide provides British recognised Qualifications. If I go to live abroad will I be able to use my qualification or will I have to re-train?

A. It is common for countries to have different training policies for professions. It will depend on which country you move to and what the training requirements are for your profession.

Q. Can I work immediately after having received my qualification?

A. TrainE-TraidE’s mission is to enhance employment opportunities and all our qualifications are geared to lead directly towards employment. Upon completion of your course of study, you may find it useful to embark upon our job readiness programme to bridge the gap to employment.

Q. How can I train and qualify to become a Teacher?

A. To become a teacher you need to attain QTS (Qualified Teacher Status). This is achieved by completing your ITT (Initial Teacher Training) and postgraduate training. The ITT involves completing a degree, which ideally should link with the subject you intend to teach. You can also do a specific degree in Education. Once you have completed your degree – which can be accessed through distance learning or by going to University, you need to apply for the post graduate stage of qualification.

There are several Postgraduate Teacher Training Programmes:

PGCE – Post Graduate Certificate in Education.

SCITT – School Centred Initial Teacher Training

GTP – Graduate Teacher Programme.

Once you successfully complete any one of these, you gain QTS and are qualified to teach in schools throughout the UK.


Q. What is the difference between a Certificate, Diploma, NVQ and Degree?

A. All UK qualifications must fall within the National Qualification Framework below:

D Doctorates

M (Masters) - Masters degrees, postgraduate certificates and diplomas
