    Hi, I need some advice, I'm currently working a school who have said that they are willing to back me next year when i training, I'm teaching Art at the moment, 3 Years experience in a school, First class degree- yet i didn't get in to the GTP course i applied to based on silly reasons...... I'm based in Bedfordshire and a PGCE or self funded place is not an option!! Anyone know what i can do or where to look to find a training provider for next year?? Any advice would be fab, Thanks

    If by next year you mean this september then you will find most places are allocated or in the process of being filled as the majority of appointments tend to be from now into the start of summer term.The trouble with non shortage subjects like Art  is that these places have been dramatically reduced in favour of shortage subject areas. The whole system of ITT is in athe middle of extreme changes as the Gove sets about implementing more school based training ( so look for teaching schools in your area) and reducing ITT places generally.
