You can visit schools to get unpaid experience in the classroom before you start your initial teacher training (ITT).

It can help you:

• decide if you want to train to be a teacher

• discover if you’d like to teach in a primary or secondary school

• build a relationship with a school you might want to work for later

During your experience, you’ll get to do things like:

• observe lessons

• see how teachers manage a classroom

• find out how specific subjects are taught

• speak to teachers and meet pupils

• learn more about teacher training - including the application and interview process
