Testimonials from trainees on our Teacher Training course in Essex

I was worried about the interview, but it was so well organised and the panel were very supportive.  I am so pleased I chose to train with BEC Teacher Training.

You will be immersed in school life from day one.  You will be learning new things every minute of every day and the pace is fast, but if you are prepared to work hard there is fantastic support to move you on to becoming an outstanding teacher.

I enjoyed this teacher training course because the balance between workshops and school based sessions really helped me to prepare for my first year of teaching.  The tutors and mentors were all very supportive.  The subject knowledge course provided by this Initial Teacher Training provider was excellent and gave me the confidence to teach

The most satisfying and rewarding year of my life so far. To all future trainees – GO FOR IT!  It is meticulously organised and planned to ensure that you can achieve your maximum potential.

Becoming a teacher was a challenging and life changing process.  I am extremely happy that I have chosen this profession.  Training with BEC Teacher Training helped me achieve this and I will always be grateful.
