The interview

When we receive your application, if you are shortlisted we will invite you for interview and send you a detailed subject audit to complete.

Your interview will be held at the NETT Tendring Education Centre and/or in a partner school. An average interview takes about two to four hours. As part of the interview process you will sit Maths and Literacy assessments. You will be asked to give a short presentation after which you will be formally interviewed. For primary applicants, you will be required to carry out a short teaching activity. If successful, you will receive information on how to develop your skills prior to starting the course.

Places will be offered conditionally subject to satisfactory DBS check and fitness to teach. If you have recently lived abroad, a letter of good conduct will be required.
