For over 12 years, WISE ITT has been helping aspiring teachers across the North East turn their passion into a fulfilling career in education. Formerly known as Town End Teaching & Support Alliance (TETSA), we are now proud to partner with Northumbria University as an official initial teacher training delivery partner.

Through this partnership, we offer a fully immersive, school-centred training programme that places you in the classroom from day one. You’ll learn from experienced teachers, skilled mentors and university experts—developing the confidence and practical skills needed to succeed in today’s classrooms.

Our programme focuses on the 3–11 age range, combining high-quality academic study with hands-on experience in multiple schools and year groups. You’ll gain invaluable insight into different teaching environments and approaches, supported every step of the way by the exceptional teams at WISE Academies and Northumbria University.

With WISE ITT, you don’t just learn about teaching - you become a teacher.

Start your journey with us and make a lasting impact on the lives of children across the North East.
