Our approach to finding a school

B-NETT is committed to offering training places to the highest quality candidates in the best school-based training situations. The prime consideration in making decisions in respect of offering training places is the potential of the applicant. Although many of our applicants do have school support at the point of application, it does not advantage an applicant to have an employing school identifed on application. B-NETT will support applicants in finding an employing school should they require assistance. B-NETT cannot guarantee to find a school since it is the school who employs the trainee.

B-NETT requires the employing schools of successful applicants to demonstrate their capacity and commitment to act as providers of initial teacher training in partnership with B-NETT.

Thank you for your interest in the Employment Based Routes into Teaching through B-NETT. We look forward to receiving your application.
