The tutors were brilliant and gave me the confidence I needed – Di Wass

Return to Teaching courses are designed to update your skills and build your confidence before you return to the classroom.

The course will give you the opportunity to meet with other former teachers, and those working in schools today.

The TDA will provide you with a training bursary plus childcare cover costs, or costs for caring for a dependent relative.

Find out more about support available for returners.

Depending on which course provider you choose, you may have to pay a refundable deposit.

There are also lots of ways for you to update your skills yourself.
