Question

I want to become a teacher but i dont no where to start. Im 19 and i didnt get my english and maths gcse. I want to do something worth while and ive always thought that i'll enjoy and be good and being a teacher.

Answer 1

Ok, well first you will need to get those English and Maths GCSEs, grade C or above. Any teaching course will require that.

Then you need to get some A-Levels, including the subject(s) you want to teach.

Then you need to get a degree. You could do an undergraduate degree that allows you to go straight into teaching (a B Ed) Make sure that the course you choose definitely qualifies you as a teacher - not all Education degrees do. Or you could do a science for your undergraduate degree, then do a one year postgraduate degree called a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education). There are also some schemes through which a graduate can get into teaching (there's one called Teach First), but an undergraduate degree is essential.

http://www.ucas.ac.uk is your source for undergraduate degree information.

http://www.prospects.ac.uk has career information - you could look up more about teaching there.

http://www.connexions.co.uk has career advice for young people.

Good luck!

You will need a Degree, plus a year at teacher training college.

Answer 4

You'll need a degree in science to start with, then after that you'll need to do a 1 year teacher training course - a post grad certificate in education. Get in touch with your local college or university for full details or you could even get advice from the careers office in your area.

What you will need to do is get your GCSE's you can do these at home via home learning or go to a local college in the evening....these arent free but only cost about £200-£400

After you have got them you will need a degree in science after you have received your degree you will then have to do another year of training to become a teacher....dont let all this scare you off....its nice to see someone with such good ambitions....contact a local career adviser to point you in the right directions.
