As a teacher training provider, we are your teachers, enabling you to realise your potential and use it to change lives through excellent education.

I've recently completed my training with NTS. I've found it to be a positive and challenging way in which to train to be a teacher. The team are very supportive in the SCITT, while subject tutors and in school mentors mean you have an opportunity to really develop and improve over the year thanks to their feedback and input. I also had the opportunity to spend 5 weeks training in Rome, which added a huge amount to my experience. Would recommend to anyone considering teacher training.

I learned so much during my SCITT and was well supported by the whole SCITT team. They are a fantastic group of people with a huge amount of knowledge and experience. During my training year, I had a wide range of practical experience in the classroom alongside academic input delivered by the university of Nottingham and the SCITT team. It was a valuable preparation for my first teaching position.

Joining the Torch SCITT programme was the best professional decision I have made. I gained such a wealth of knowledge and skills from an expert team of leaders and the support and guidance provided was excellent! The opportunity equipped me for a successful future in the teaching profession and now, almost 6 years later, I am a confident Media Studies and SEN English teacher who still loves my job!
