you can get much information in this website, If you will check anyone blue link in website.

Answer 2

When I trained you needed O level English and Maths at grade c or above and at least 2 A levels.  You then went on to take a degree.

The qualifications for todays youngsters are pretty much the same (GCSEs (A-C) English, maths and science or equivalent qualifications) plus at least two other GSCE's (A-C) and  at least two A levels (one of which should be in a National Curriculum subject).

Answer 3

CSEs are quite a low level qualification.  In order to be a teacher you need a university degree.  As far as I know you would have to go to college for a year to gain the qualification needed to get into university.  You would then need to do the degree (either B Ed. or BA/ BSc with QTS).  As part of the degree you would get experience teaching.  You can ask your local college/ university for confirmation of this.

The qualifications are similar in Scotland.

Answer 4

Sorry Jay, you won't get far with those.  You need to do an Access course, go to your local college to make enquiries now, they will be signing up for the new academic year.  Access is hard going but it will get you to university standard in a couple of years and the best thing is you don't need any qualifications to get on the course.  Good luck.
