• A standard equivalent to a GCSE grade C/4 in Mathematics.
• An undergraduate degree, or a recognised equivalent qualification. This is typically 2:2 or higher but we will look at all applications against the demands of the course. 
• You need to have robust prior knowledge, skills and understanding of mathematics appropriate to teaching at 11-16 level in order to enrol on this course.
