In September 2011 CILT’s Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP) will be opening its doors to native speakers of Italian and Mandarin Chinese in addition to mother tongue speakers of French, German and Spanish.

CILT’s GTP is a one-year, full-time teacher training programme for native speakers of these five languages who want to teach languages in secondary schools in England or Wales.

This employment-based route combines day-to-day work in a school with regular training sessions, combining a practical focus and valuable school-based experience with specialist training offered by CILT, The National Centre for Languages.

Training takes place in schools all over England, allowing applicants either to apply to train in a school where they are currently working or to apply for selection by one of our nation-wide partnership schools.

The deadline for applications for the course starting in September 2011 is 25 March 2011.
