The OAKS fully understands that every trainee’s journey to becoming a teacher is different, therefore we offer a wide range of teaching routes, which follow the following accredited routes:
- PGCE
- School Direct, non-salaried
- School Direct, salaried
- Assessment Only (AO)
Our PGCE and School Direct routes into teaching follow the same structure as each other, both having two outcome awards allowing trainees to gain qualified teacher status (QTS) from The OAKS and a PGCE academic award which is awarded by Keele University.
