What can I study?
There are two routes available:
If you’re already working in a school in a non-teaching role, the salaried route allows you to study to become a teacher alongside your existing duties. This means you can continue to work in your school and the costs of study are supported by a training grant from the Welsh Government. Even if you don’t work in a school but you are looking to become a teacher, you can still apply for the salaried route in secondary shortage subjects.
- Primary, Secondary Maths, Science, Welsh, English, English with Drama, English with Media Studies, Design and Technology, Computing/ICT
- New for 2025 – Secondary Modern Foreign Languages
