Early Years teachers can work in all private, voluntary and independent (PVI) early years settings, as well as free schools, academies and independent schools which can employ teaching staff without the requirement for QTS.
Choose from two routes
Suitable for new graduates and career changers who will not be employed in an early years setting during the training.
For people already employed in an early years setting or phase of a school. You will combine work (up to 90% of your time) and be released for training and study days.

At聽IOE we have a long tradition of working in partnership with early years settings and schools in inner cities, including London.
Our placement settings offer teaching experience where practitioners serve as mentors and joint assessors for our student Early Years Teachers.聽IOE tutors have extensive experience of teaching, school management, teacher education and聽research.
