Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
They ran sessions from 9am until about 5pm covering the key skills required to teach, introducing their leadership and teaching programmes, and running interactive sessions where they assessed our teaching ability.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was really useful for them to go over what their graduate scheme would entail. They answered all the specific questions I had which were not answered by the website. Their taster sessions really made me want to consider doing Teach First as a graduate role.
