All the information you need to provide will be requested by DfE within your Apply for Teacher Training online application. You can expect to provide: Email address – almost all the correspondence will be via email. Please use a personal email address rather than a work/university address. It will also help if you ensure our email address, as well as the Department for Education email address, is saved as a safe recipient in your email profile.References – your application requires a minimum of 2 references. You can request as many references as you like, requesting more might increase the chances of getting 2 quickly. These can be requested and submitted through the DfE Apply system online. Qualifications – you should provide details of all your qualifications, including GCSEs and A Levels. The DfE Apply system will provide guidance on how much information you need to provide. Personal statement – your personal statement should be clear, concise and with a good standard of English language. Use paragraphs and check your spelling/grammar. You should explain why you want to teach in your chosen age group, demonstrating your enthusiasm and commitment to your subject and also your understanding of the role of a school teacher. Your personal statement is important. We are looking for evidence of your commitment to teaching, your potential to meet the academic demands of the course and your professional suitability to the role of a school teacher. The Apply for Teacher Training Personal Statement is made up of two parts; first outlining why you want to teach and secondly focussing on your suitability to teach a subject area or age group. Adjustments - The DfE Apply for Teacher Training application will provide the opportunity for you to request any adjustments that you require. We strongly advise you to communicate any access needs you have, so that we can support you in your application period and during the course. We are committed to providing equal opportunities to all applicants, and this step allows us to tailor your application process.
