“ I would recommend the school centred Initial teacher training run at CREC because it has immersed me in the role of teacher very quickly and I am finding practical ways to exercise my newly acquired skills everyday. ”
It was great to be a part of a close learning community and go on the journey together. I met some very inspiring people, who I think have helped me be the teacher I am today.The course met my expectations and I would definitely recommend the SCITT for enabling and equipping me to become a qualified teacher.
