Graduate Teacher Programme
EM Direct GTP Consortium is a Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) Accredited Provider of Employment Based Initial Teacher Training.
We train teachers in our Consortium partner areas of Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire, East Riding of Yorkshire, Barnsley, Leeds, Nottinghamshire, North Yorkshire, Hartlepool and City of York LAs, and the Crown Hills Secondary Schools Consortium (City of Leicester).
In addition, we are now able to accept applications to train in Secondary Schools in Leicestershire, Peterborough and Rutland.
- WE ONLY ACCEPT APPLICATIONS FOR THESE GTP PLACES FROM PEOPLE WHO WILL BE TRAINING IN SCHOOLS IN ONE OF THE ABOVE LISTED PARTNER LAS.
- WE ONLY ACCEPT APPLICATIONS FOR TRAINING IN SUPERNUMERARY POSTS (i.e. you must be employed by a school as an extra teacher - not covering a vacancy).
The TDA have made available approximately 4,500 funded GTP places so schools can employ and train a teacher.
To apply to train on the GTP with EM Direct, you will need to obtain both the Candidate Application Pack and the School Application Pack. These are both available by clicking the RESOURCES link at the top of this page and downloading ALL the documents.
WHEN TO APPLY
SEPTEMBER 2010 START Currently, we expect our closing date for applications to be at the end of November 2009, with interviews being held during the first 3 weeks of January 2010. We anticipate that many of the initial applications will be made through our Consortium Partner Schools and we are currently in the process of finalising these procedures.
We invite enquiries regarding training places for September 2010. Information will be sent to those who express an interest and we will be accepting applications from 1 September 2009. We will be updating the information later in the summer with advice on how to make applications, procedures and deadlines.
If you are seeking to train outside our consortium areas, or are seeking a Training Grant only place, we recommend you contact other Employment Based Route (EBR) providers offering places in your locality. Details of other EBR Providers can be found on the TDA website at www.tda.gov.uk
