2. Early Years Initial Teacher Training at the University of Brighton

Are you a graduate working in an early years setting? Have you considered Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS)?

EYTS is the graduate qualification for practitioners working with children aged 0-5. Early Years Initial Teacher Training (EYITT) is a fully funded course for graduate practitioners who are working towards Early Years Teacher Status. A financial incentive of £7,000 is paid to the employer to support the trainee to be successful in meeting the Teachers’ Standards (Early Years).

On successful completion, trainees are awarded a postgraduate certificate (PG Cert) in Early Years Education with Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS) and 60 masters-level credits. For more information please visit our website or contact the EYITT Programme Assistant, Helen Carter, at eyitt@brighton.ac.uk or 01273 641931.
