Health declaration
We use an external company called Heales Medical to provide this service, so you will receive information directly from Heales Medical to go through the health check process. They will fully explain everything that you need to do in order for them to declare you Fit to Train to Teach.
GCSE equivalency
If required, GCSE equivalency tests are available through our listed providers:
Please note, we only accept equivalency tests from the three providers listed.
A Star Equivalency offer a £26 discount for Leeds Trinity applicants if booked using 26offleedstrinity discount promo code.
You will need to have taken and passed your GCSE equivalency test(s) and provided the results to Admissions as detailed in your offer conditions by the end of July 2024 to begin your studies.
Placements
If your term-time address is in the Leeds Metro area, we will use this address as the point from which we will calculate your travel time and distance for your placement.
If you live outside the Leeds Metro area during term time, we will use the Leeds Trinity campus as the point from which we will make these calculations.
In most cases, we can place trainees in a school within a radius of 1.5 hours travel time (whether by car or public transport).
Only in exceptional circumstances will we be able to support placements outside of these criteria.
Funding your teacher training
Most UK students can apply for a tuition fee loan to cover the cost of their tuition fees from Student Finance England or their relevant funding body.
UK students can also apply for a package of loans and grants to help with living costs while studying – youmay also be eligible for a Training Bursary from the Department of Education.
We recommend sending a copy of your offer email to your respective funding body so they can add it to your application for student finance.
There are many eligibility requirements for statutory student finance, one being 'residency'.
If you have any reason to think that you may not be entitled to statutory student finance, it is your responsibility to contact the relevant funding body and inform us if you are not eligible.
Replying to your offer
When you’ve received decisions on all your choices, you’ll then have ten days to make your final decision on which offer to accept.
You won’t be able to accept an offer while you have applications without a final decision – this is so you can make your final choice having all of your options open to you.
