Work out the best route for you
From school-based teacher training, university-based teacher training or a bit of both - you have plenty of options.
Ask yourself: Do you prefer more in-classroom experience? This will determine where you start. Generally, school-based routes will offer more hands-on experience than university routes - however we always recommend speaking with the provider to learn more.
