How to become a teacher
Becoming a teacher is one of the most rewarding and impactful career choices you can make, and the journey into teaching begins with a few clear steps.
Our guide will walk you through the process, helping you understand what’s involved and how to get started.
Routes into teaching
With KMT you have 2 main routes into teaching, all of them involve closely training in one school (your Home School) and gaining teaching experience in a contrasting/alternative setting.
Equity, diversity & inclusion
We are dedicated to creating a teaching profession that is equitable, diverse, and inclusive, and we are passionate about breaking down the systemic barriers that prevent talented individuals from entering this rewarding profession.
Qualified Teacher Status
We award QTS ourselves, which means we design and deliver our own bespoke curriculum, adapting to regional contexts and individual trainee needs. At KMT, our mission is to support education for a better world.
Assessment Only Route
The Assessment Only (AO) route to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) allows you to demonstrate that you already meet all the Teaching Standards, without the need for any further training.
You’ll need to present detailed evidence of your teaching and be assessed in school. The whole process takes under 12 weeks, often without leaving your current school.
Where can I train to teach?
We have over 350 partner schools in which you can choose to train to teach. We offer placements in urban and semi-rural settings, single-sex and co-educational schools, both wide ability and selective.
Every KMT partner school has its own distinctive ethos and aims.
