Why choose a Postgraduate Teacher Apprenticeship?
Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeships with KMT are available for prospective primary and secondary school teachers.
You’ll be employed by a KMT partner school while you learn on the job. In some cases, this may be a school you’re already working at, or have an existing relationship with.
If you’re currently working as an unqualified teacher or teaching assistant, it offers new opportunities for career progression, plus higher earning capacity, recognition, and status.
You’ll receive a combination of classroom teaching and off-the-job training as you to work towards Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
On completion of your Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship you may choose to top up your training to complete a PGCE.

For those who intend to train to teach pupils aged 3 to 11, have achieved a standard equivalent to a grade 4 in the GCSE examination in a science subject;
a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent)
QUALIFICATIONS:
Achievement of QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) – awarded by the Department for Education – will be a mandatory requirement for apprentices’ successful completion of the course.
Leigh Institute (KMT) - Level 6 Teacher (Initial Teacher Training) + QTS
Apprenticeship Programme
KMT is organised into five hubs: North Kent & London, Mid Kent, East Kent, West Kent & Sussex and Primary. Within
these hubs, KMT works closely with over 250 partner schools to deliver our ambitious, broad and balanced curriculum.
KMT’s central-based training programme is delivered weekly on Thursdays. The key curriculum strands are interwoven
throughout professional and subject studies sessions. Purposeful integration is achieved through the close links between
all aspects of central-based training and school-based training. The curriculum intent, implementation and impact are
shared with mentors and key learning from central-based training is disseminated weekly so that it can be reinforced in
practice.
A key element of each associate teacher’s training is their working relationship with their school-based mentor. KMT
mentors undertake bespoke training pathways to support their knowledge, develop their skill set, and bring about
improved outcomes for the associate teacher.
