Influencing Teaching and Learning

Welcome to EM Training

Children in classroom

EM Training leads the EM Direct Group in managing and delivering all Training and Development Agency for schools (TDA) contracts.

If you are interested in becoming a teacher then we can offer you the opportunity to experience teaching by coming on a Teaching Taster Course or, if you are still studying for a BA/BSc, postgraduate degree, HND or Foundation Degree joining the Student Associate Scheme.

Once you have made your mind up to train to be a teacher, the Employment Based Training Route of the Graduate Teacher Programme could be the ideal training route for you. This one year full time training programme combines the benefits of centre based and school based training, with being employed as a trainee teacher at a school.

Training to be a teacher may also require enhancing your subject knowledge in certain areas. Our Subject Knowledge Booster Courses run during the year and can be integrated into an initial teacher training programme.

Teacher with class in classroom

Qualified Primary and Secondary Teachers who have had a career break and are now looking to return to the profession, can refresh skills and update knowledge by attending a Return to Teaching Course. These 10 week intensive courses will ensure a smooth and now successful return to the classroom. And you are even paid a training bursary to attend these courses.

For Teaching Assistants working in schools in the East Midlands looking to achieve Higher Level Teaching Assistant Status, we run 3 day Preparation and 12 day Modular Training Programmes to prepare you for Assessment against the HLTA Standards. You will be Assessed for HLTA Status by the East Midlands HLTA Consortium (www.emhlta.org.uk), of which EM Direct is a member.
