Yorkshire and Humber Teacher Training

What Yorkshire and Humber Teacher Training does

Yorkshire and Humber Teacher Training (YHTT) is a private teacher-training and professional-development provider headquartered in Kingston upon Hull, United Kingdom, and operating as a constituent part of The Constellation Trust multi-academy trust. Founded in 2016, YHTT delivers postgraduate Initial Teacher Training (ITT) leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) across primary (5-11) and secondary (11-16) phases, alongside a Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship (PGTA) funded via employer apprenticeship levy, an Assessment Only route to QTS, and a portfolio of supporting qualifications including Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE), Youth Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) delivered via the Blueprint Alliance brand with Best Practice Network, and the Early Career Framework (ECF) delivered as edt's Hull partner.

The underlying technology stack combines a bespoke online platform for tracking apprentice observations, mentor meetings and targets with the VIDLEARN learning management system powering 100% online, on-demand SKE courses in 11 subjects. Courses use an interactive video system with Virtual Lessons structured around Starters, Learning Outcomes, Learning Activities and Plenaries plus timed self-assessment. MFL trainees additionally receive Babbel Professional vocabulary access for course duration. Training delivery uses a 4-days-in-school, 1-day-training centre model anchored at Sirius Academy West (296 Anlaby Park Road South, Hull), with remote Teams delivery as a fallback. Partner placements sit within The Constellation Trust network of 7 primary schools, 2 secondary schools, and 1 alternative provision, supplemented by external partner schools such as Withernsea High School.

YHTT monetises across multiple streams with pricing ranging from £125 per week for self-funded SKE, £325 per participant for MHFA, £3,000 for the Assessment Only route, £9,000 apprenticeship levy-funded PGTA, and £9,790 for the tuition-loan-funded ITT course (plus an optional £1,000 PGCE top-up). Revenue mix is therefore heavily exposed to DfE and apprenticeship-levy funding decisions, with self-funded ticket sizes intentionally low. Customer segments span university leavers, career changers, existing school staff seeking upskilling, schools requiring NPQ and ECF delivery, and external individuals seeking MHFA accreditation.
