    It is the same qualification no matter where you get it from .
    I know a few people that did it and all have jobs but it was more from their work experience,subbing and repeatedly reminding local school that they were there.
    There are not a lot of jobs for primary teachers atm.

    Some principals tend to favour the more traditional colleges. I'd be more concerned about the lack of ANY jobs , no matter where you train.

    Have to agree with byhookorbycrook - principals do seem to favour the more traditional route- and I suppose it's their decision.
    But there aren't an awful lot of jobs around, even though classrooms are teeming with children. It's not pleasant working in schools at the moment - it can be very stressful-there are incentives introduced for dealing with unruly pupils, but because there are so many, it's effectiveness is diluted.
