Educator supporting a learner during professional study
Which teacher training course should I choose?

Choose by the learners you want to teach and the capability you want to develop. Early-years learners can compare Montessori, Nursery and ECCE. Educators seeking broad preparation can review the International Teaching Diploma, while SEN, Child Psychology, Counselling and Educational Administration provide more specialist professional development.

Admissions guidance

Not sure which course level is right for you?

Tell our admissions team about your experience, current qualification, teaching goals and preferred study area. We can help you compare suitable LCT pathways before you apply.

Course completion does not by itself guarantee employment, a teaching licence, a visa or admission to further study. Requirements vary by employer, institution and country.
