Train to Teach through the South East Learning Alliance

The Quest Academy offers teacher training through our School Direct courses, which are designed as school-centred initial teacher training routes and are a popular choice for those who hope to secure a role in the network of schools where they train.  The School Direct Programme is provided through the South East Learning Alliance of which we are a member school.

For 2019-2020, we have opportunities across a range of subjects, details of which are set out below.  Our School Direct courses run for the duration of the academic year and result in qualified teacher status (QTS).  On completion you will be awarded or given the opportunity to undertake, a postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE) and/or Master’s-level credits depending on whether you take the salaried or unsalaried route.
