We are on a mission to create the next generation of modern foreign languages teachers in England.

We are the only national teacher training provider focused solely on modern languages. This makes us uniquely different from other routes into teaching and ensures you are prepared for life in the classroom, whilst being part of a wider language teaching community.

Developed by experienced modern foreign languages teachers, our passion for languages and language learning led to the creation of a unique teacher training programme. It has been developed as a partnership between both the state and independent education sectors.

National Specialist SCITTs

We are part of the National Specialist SCITTs, home of subject-specific school-centred initial teacher training created and developed by Chorus Education Trust. 

The National Specialist SCITTs provides unique teacher training programmes with a strong focus on subject-specific training. Throughout the course, trainees learn directly from experts and professionals within their chosen subject area.

Our programmes combine academic learning with practical experience in schools, along with specialist training from subject experts. This ensures you develop a strong understanding of teaching, are ready for classroom life, and become part of a community of subject-specific teaching community.
