Please note that the British Council is not an ITT provider and receiving the British Council scholarship does not secure you a place with a teacher training provider. It is your responsibility to secure a training place on an eligible course before or after your application. You can search all available courses in England using the teacher training database, but note that only non-salaried courses leading to QTS are compatible with the British Council scholarship.
You must also have secured a place on an eligible non-salaried languages teacher training scheme in England for the 2026-27 academic year by September 2026. Please note that you can apply for the programme before having received a conditional offer from an Initial Teacher Training (ITT) Provider.
