Now recruiting for its eleventh year of training, the CILT/British Council Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP) continues to be one of the most prestigious teacher training programmes for native speakers of French, Spanish and German in the country.

The GTP is an employment-based route, where native speakers receive ‘on-the-job’ training in one of more than 40 training schools based around England, combined with regular training and advice from CILT in one of its training centres based in London, Birmingham and Manchester.

CILT works closely with the British Council, in collaboration with European partners, to recruit graduates who are native speakers of French, Spanish or German, particularly those with some experience of teaching, for example as language assistants.

This year’s course will run from September 2008-August 2009, and will qualify trainees to become language teachers in English secondary schools.

This deadline for this year’s applications is 28 March 2008.
