Hey, I have applied to study Primary Education with QTS. I am currently studying CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Childcare and Education. Has anyone had an interview yet? If you have, please could you tell me how it went, give me any advice, what questions were asked, if you have to prepare anything, and how many interviewers are there? Thank you so much!

Hii, had my interview and honestly theres nothing you need to be worried about as everyone was so friendly. The staff and lectures all made you feel welcome and it was much more relaxed and 'informal' then some of the other interviews I have been too. Of course dress smartly but theres nothing to catch you out. If you've been given the information leaflet (I got it sent over email) then everything you need to prepare for is on there and just enjoy it. Good luck!

Hello, I have applied to study Occupational Therapy at Worcester and I'm really excited about it! I had my interview a few days ago and so far everyone has been so kind and friendly there which is really great. I actually finished my A-Levels a few years ago and have taken some time out to figure out what I want to do and gain some work experience but I studied Psychology, English Literature and Religious Studies. I wish everyone the best of luck with their applications and interviews! :heart:

Hi! I have my interview soon also for primary education and I'm getting nervous, I was just wondering what are some questions they asked you, was it just one staff member interviewing you or multiple and how long did it take? Thankyouu

I'm not sure if everyone has the same process, but I assume so. For me it was in person and there was about 20 of us, we did a written task which is nothing to be worried about, all the lectures were very friendly and they make you feel really relaxed and welcome. We divided into groups of 4 and did a little group task which was just a discussion and then there was a individual interview afterwards. They just asked the generic questions which you get at most interviews but there nothing to be nervous about, just research into the things that they suggest on the interview leaflet (things like safeguarding, teacher standards etc) which is emailed out beforehand and I'm sure you'll do great! Good luck

Nope not far and I’ve heard good things just want to make sure I go where’s best for me and I really like Worcester in general :smile:

are you local to the town?

I live not too far from Worcester, which is convenient as I can come home when I want to see my mum and boyfriend. Worcester is very safe so it feels like a nice place to start living on my own
