Are you thinking of making the switch to education?

At Esprit schools, you can become a teacher!

We offer you the option of training at Esprit to become a teacher in primary or secondary education. Being a teacher is one of the best professions there is! Teach children to become everything they’ve dreamed of, and use yourself as the starting point.

Teaching in secondary education

As a lateral entrant from any profession, we can train you to work as a teacher. If you have a Dutch HBO or WO-level diploma and have not been registered at a PABO academy within the past two years, register with 1Loket and send an email to info@opleidingsschool.espritscholen.nl.

After a crash course at Het Schoolbureau, in which you will be immersed in the world of education over eleven consecutive days, take a three-month (paid) work experience course and once you have obtained an aptitude certificate, you will take a two-year PABO course. Combine your studies with a paid workplace at one of our schools. Once you have successfully completed the entire pathway, you can become a permanent employee at Esprit Schools as a qualified teacher.
