Teacher Training

If you're looking into qualifying as a teacher, we'd love to hear from you.

Email [email protected] with your name and phone number and we'll call you back to discuss your options.

Teaching is one of the most stimulating and rewarding careers. Every day you will make a huge difference to the life of a child, inspiring them and opening up new worlds of knowledge. A graduate teacher can earn £28,000 in their first year, and quickly progress to senior management. At LSJS, we have been training teachers for over 30 years, and offer a range of courses to become a qualified teacher.

Why Train with LSJS?

LSJS is a user-friendly way to gain a teaching qualification. You can study part time, while also working in a school and earning money. We can train students to teach in primary or secondary school and we have different courses available depending on your level of experience and your preferences in learning style.

At the end of your course (and, actually, throughout it!) you can work in the community, contributing to it in a really meaningful and important way, helping children in our schools to be educated and qualified for their next steps in the world.

LSJS Teacher Training graduates are in high demand and you will be given the best start in your career.

We can provide the kind of personal relationships, individualised feedback and genuine care for our students’ progress and wellbeing that you don’t get in a large institution.
We will support you at every stage of your training and encourage your development post-qualification.
We have been training teachers for over 30 years. Many of our graduates are now in positions of senior leadership.
We have close relationships with high performing schools to aid your training.
We are based in North London and so no need to travel to central London
