ABSTRACT
A teaching qualification can be a passport to many other jobs. There are those associated with education, but beyond the normal classroom experience, such as working with children and young people with special or individual needs. There are also many other posts that are ancillary to schools, whether in educational administration, publishing, museums, field centres, inspection, or in training the next generation of teachers and classroom assistants. Some of these alternative posts can provide a new career path with opportunities for promotion; others allow the development of particular interests, but do not provide a career structure.
