How do i become a teacher in the UK at a primary school?
You can go into teaching through 2 different routes. Route 1 would be going to University as an Undergraduate and working towards getting a degree in Primary Education (BA). This course takes 3-4 years full time, depending on the University that you go to. You would then have a year teaching after this to gain your Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Route 2 would be doing a Postgraduate PGCE in Primary Education. This is where you have already got a degree in a subject (eg history) and then you do a 1 year PGCE at University to become a teacher. Either way you are going to need A levels (or equivelent) in order to become a teacher. Refer to this government website for more information: http://www.tda.gov.
