I had a fantastic experience with Titan. I greatly appreciated the positive relationships I built with both the staff and pupils. The support and encouragement I received from my mentors and colleagues were instrumental in my growth and development as a teacher.
The weekly reflections were an invaluable tool that allowed me to reflect on my teaching practices and continuously strive for improvement.
Moreover, the course has established a routine in my life, helping me to manage my time effectively and stay organised. I am grateful for the structure and discipline that Titan has instilled in me.
Titan has been highly supportive of my dreams and ambitions. I wanted to become a teacher, and through the 9-month period of training and teaching experiences, I turned out to become an excellent maths teacher
This has been the hardest and yet most amazing year of my life and … I’ve loved every moment. Titan gave me the opportunity as a mature student to pursue a career that I was struggling to break in to. My first degree wasn’t great but after 18 months working as a TA I got my teacher training opportunity.
Be under no illusion that this will be the busiest, most intense and stressful year but, it will prepare you totally for your NQT year. The support that Titan staff afford you as well as the close-knit environment with your fellow students ensures that you have an outlet for the hundreds of amazing moments you will experience, but also those moments when you need a helping hand and sometimes… shoulder to cry on.
Titan Partnership offers a real life, hands on experience of teaching in schools. Both schools that Titan placed me in gave me a valuable insight into the life of a teacher. The support offered from the SBTs was given in real time, and was effective and constructive to ensure I was making progress.
The Titan cohort was small, therefore Claire got to know you individually, which is important if you have any questions or queries. Also relationships within the group were free flowing which was important as when I had a really challenging or exhilarating week, I could share my experiences with my colleagues.
Even though this year was tough, it was really important for me to have fun at my placements. Being resilient and non-defensive about feedback is crucial as this helped me become a good trainee. I would definitely recommend Titan to anyone looking into teaching!

“Great opportunity to work in inner-city schools, giving support to the pupils who need it most”
“I knew St Mary’s (Titan’s lead School Direct Primary school) was an outstanding school”
“The SCITT course gives you a gradual introduction into teaching, working up to a 70% timetable during the year”
“Many trainees end up employed in Titan training schools thanks to their school-based approach to training”
Becoming a teacher offers the profound opportunity to shape the minds and futures of young people, fostering a lifelong love of learning. It is a career that combines the joy of imparting knowledge with the satisfaction of making a difference. As a teacher, you have the unique ability to inspire, motivate, and challenge students, helping them discover their potential, raise their aspirations and achieve their goals. Teaching allows for continuous personal and professional growth. It fosters a deep sense of community and collaboration. Ultimately, teaching is more than just a job; it is a vocation that contributes to the betterment of society by nurturing the next generation of thinkers, leaders, and innovators.
Titan Teacher Training has successfully trained teachers for over 35 years. We work with Primary and Secondary schools across Birmingham to deliver outstanding and supportive school-based Teacher Training.
We work in partnership with Teach First to deliver their outstanding School-Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) programme. This comprehensive program not only leads to achieving qualified teacher status (QTS) but also awards you a post-graduate certificate in education (PGCE) complete with master’s level credits.
Our research-oriented course offers a rich hands-on experience supported by the guidance of highly skilled current teachers, enabling you to apply your learning to the classroom seamlessly. You’ll immerse yourself in your training school for four days each week, making a positive impact on students while also participating in weekly training and development sessions dedicated to enhancing your teaching practice.
We are dedicated to nurturing Birmingham teachers and look forward to supporting you into teaching!
Before you enter the classroom, we’ll provide you with two weeks of intensive training focused on core areas such as behaviour management and planning. You will also have a further two weeks of intensive training later in the year. These will focus on pivotal areas to help you continue to develop your practice.
You’ll be eased into teaching by shadowing other expert teachers before leading your own lessons with guidance from experienced colleagues. You’ll work with a skilled and knowledgeable subject-specific mentor who will meet with you regularly to give you further support and guidance, and your lead mentor will deliver your training and oversee your progress throughout the year.
Once you start your placement, you will have weekly training sessions that focus on the areas of teaching that are most relevant to that point in the academic year.
You will take part in six modules across the year – one per half term. In each module, you will have self-directed study sessions, a live seminar and a conference day to give you time to collaborate with other trainees. You will also have access to Brightspace, a digital learning platform that will support your journey.
Our programme also includes six weeks of placements in additional educational settings to make sure that you qualify with broad teaching experiences.
Our programme strikes a harmonious balance between enhancing your subject expertise and fostering a profound understanding of effective teaching methodologies and techniques. This allows you not only to manage your workload effectively but also to safeguard your well-being, supporting you towards becoming an outstanding teacher.
