- After completing my teacher training year with SCITT I thought I would share with you my opinion of SCITT. Should you choose this teacher training route? What are the benefits? Or do you think there’s another training route which would be better for you?

Fab, thank you for sharing. I'm starting a SCITT this September and I love hearing different experiences.
Wonderful, best of luck for September! X
Hi Liz, what a fantastic video! As always your enthusiasm for teaching shines through. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your year training with The Sheffield SCITT
I have loved it! So glad you enjoyed the video xxx
This is so inspiring thank you so much.
Thank you so much, Mun. I'm glad you found this helpful!
Love this video, I am going into a schools direct programme this september so I have taken a lot of tips from this but obviously not the same course but similar. Great video!
That will be exciting for you! Glad this was helpful :)
Great vid thanks so much x
You are very welcome! X
I love your point about various professional insights. Even just the different members of staff in school can be helpful. When I mentioned about placements, I recommended people go talk to and connect with the different subject leads, as they can give key feedback and recommendations for resources or your lesson plans to make them as effective as possible. Great video, gave it a thumbs up xx
Ah brilliant! Thank you for this xx
Hi Liz, thank you for your very informative and honest account regarding SCITT. I am a career changer, , and currently taking a year out of a University based Secondary PGCE. From teacher training so far I am mindful that teaching involves planning and preparation, prior to delivering lessons, and that time spent with pupils is the tip of the ice berg. I also have previous experience in both primary and secondary schools, including main stream, and special education needs, through supply agencies and as a volunteer. I recently worked in a primary school as a cover teaching assistant. and had good feedback from the class teacher. This has led me to reconsider which route in to teaching, and which age groups I would be most suited to, and where I could make the most impact. Therefore, I have recently had a Zoom meeting with a SCITT Provider about applying for their primary school based teacher training route.
Hi Alan, thank you for your comment! My experience with SCITT was great- best of luck with your future adventure.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience Liz. I have an interview coming up on Monday and it's helped to hear your experience about the overall process :)
You're very welcome! Best of luck for Monday 😊
Hi, I started my SCITT teacher training in primary in September and I’m terrified. Any advice on your assignments (rough estimates and how many). Any advice for other people about to go into SCITT teacher training? These videos have made me feel more relaxed and excited for September than before, so thank you 🙂
Karl Wilson Hi! There are three evidence bundles you complete in the year, one for each placement which are over the course of 8 lessons. You have an interview at the end of each placement to demonstrate what you have taken from the experience and talk through your evidence bundle! The university side of it co,piled of us doing a group presentation task on an issue in education e.g. SEND, safe guarding etc. And then you had to complete a 4000 word essay! The SCITT year is so exciting, I’m glad you’re feeling better about starting! :)
Loved this!! I was wondering how many days a week where you in a school and how many days where you in uni?! Also, do you finish only a QTS but a PGCE too x
Hi there, during the first term I was in school 3 days a week with one day as a hub session where I learnt pedagogy and the fifth day I was at uni! As we got into January, we no longer attended university but had 4 days in school and 1 day for the hub day! X
Hi Liz
Thanks for the video can you please explain me difference between scitt route and school direct route please.
Hi there, to my knowledge they are very similar as they are both school centred options. Here is a very good explanation I found for you- www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5029912 I hope this helps!
Would it be possible to work whilst doing it?
Thanks for the video! I wanted to know whether with all SCITTs there are two placements or one placement? I also wanted to know whether it's possible to have a college or sixth form placement? Many thanks.
PRAY. Hi! You have three placements throughout the year based at two different schools. You are expected to have a college or sixth form placement if the school you are placed in does not have a sixth form attached. There is also a primary school placement during the year! I hope this helps :)

Aww thank you. I also wanted to know if you did primary or secondary? Are there any distinct differences?
@@iOvercome2024 I did a secondary school SCITT course. The main difference with the primary one is that your placements are at different times. The course is very similar though! You still have to provide evidence bundles and have 3 placements :)
What do I do before SCITT? Do I need to get a university degree or a college degree?
You need to get an undergraduate degree in a subject, ideally one that is relevant to the subject you wish to go into! That is not essential though, you would have to speak to your provider X
Mind me asking what was your working hours like?
Hi there, it depends on the person and how long you have been teaching! At the start of the scitt year I found I was able to arrive at 8pm and leave at 4pm however as you begin taking over lessons that extended to 5pm. That was in order for me to try and not take everything home so I ensured that only at work I did the school work and home was strictly comfort zone for me. It is I,portent that you find a good balance for you, perhaps you would prefer leaving school early and completing a few things at home? I hope this was helpful!
Hello,My name is Twinkle Patel.You made very informative video.Thanks very much.I have few doubts regarding this teacher training course
As i am 7 years well experienced physics teacher in indian school with degree of b.tech in electrical engineering and bed with maths and science.
I want to know about scitt teacher training.Will this course provide me PGCE degree certificate? Is this course also include QTS?Is this course equivalent to master degree level 7?(as i am married indian man,I have to bring my wife as dependent visa)
What is general fees of this course?
Is there any great opportunity after completion of this course in uk job?
Hi Twinkle Patel, thank you for your questions. If you want the full graduation ceremony with a degree certificate after the year of training perhaps the university route would be better for you. Having said that, after your year, you will receive the equivalent of a PGCE qualification and have Qualified Teacher Status as the SCITT route is recognised across England as a legitimate training route. The Tuition fee for 2021-2022 is £9,250 for the Full Time training course, when I was doing it you applied for government funding to help pay the fees and they also gave you a maintenance loan based on your last three years income. With SCITT, you have the opportunity to complete 120 credits at a Masters in Education Level so to my knowledge, I don't think it is the equivalent of a masters level 7. However, there are great opportunities to get employed into teaching in England, especially in the science field! I hope this is useful :)
@@learningwithliz2661 thank you so much for your reply.I understand your guidence.Thanks again for your support.As international students can also demand for loan from scitt?Will they give this type of loan?
Which is best University for uk pgce with lowest fees?
@@twinklepatel9840 to my knowledge the fees are similar! I'm not too sure about the differences to international students. The best thing to do is the research the SCITT provider you would want to go with (depending on where in the country you'll be moving to) and contact them through email! Best of luck with your journey :)
@@fouziasadiq4223 yes I am in uk..searching for job
Did your scitt programme, not come with pgce? Mine does
Hi there, I believe that different SCITTs offer different combinations, based on your location! :)
