Ahh the irony! The sarcasm! Ive read your poems aswell, and other questions, it has left me curious to which type person you are? I don't believe you are any, unless you are suffering from some multiple personality disorder!

Hi- I'm doing teacher training at the moment- and be warned it's pretty intensive!
I think the best sort of teachers are those with some life skills- people who have lived in the real world and not those who happened to stay in school and get their GCSEs and A-Levels.
However, to be accepted onto a degree level teaching course you need to have at least:
5 GCSEs grades A-C (with 2 being Maths and English)
And A Levels or equivalent.
I really admire your enthusiasm, I don't know whether your qualifications are enough to get you onto a teaching degree but if you're serious I'd suggest you contacted colleges and universities where the course is offerred and speak to someone in admissions. They will be able to advise you what you need to do and may be able to put you onto an Access Course there.
Good luck.

Unfortunately level 1 is the same as a GCSE in terms of 'level'. To get access to university, you need at least L3. I would suggest gaining a L3 or doing an access course. You will also need GCSE English and Maths- so if you haven't, retake them. I know some people type without caring for spelling on yahoo, however (don't take this wrong) you might want to work on that as there are some errors in your posting. If they are typos, fair enough- nowadays you need to do skills exams in maths, literacy and ICT whatever you teach.
You should then be able to get onto a degree with teaching, which will take 4 years. I guess it will be at least a 5 year journey for you, but if you want to, go for it, it is a great career.
If you want to teach sooner, have you considered adult ed? If you've worked in retail you may be able to lecture on it at a college. Usually work experience is valid here, rather that formal qualifications, and you would still be helping young people get ahead in life.

I dont think that will be enough. However dont give up. If its something you really wanna do then go for it. Contact your local college or careers centre and they will be able to tell you exactly what qualifications you will need. If you are old enough then you could do an access course.
If you wanna work with young people there are lots of other jobs you can do besides a teacher. For example Youth worker, play scheme leader, school based work, inclusion work etc.
I work with young people and i love it!
Good luck

I would suggest an access course if you do not have any A levels as this is the minimum requirement....
The schools are looking for good role models... The access course will teach you all that you need to know... things like social skills, english etc.

you need at least level 2 qualifications to be accepted for any degree course - so you will need to top this up. Teacher training is a very intensive course, so be prepared for lots of hard work

If you have the strength of character to read Jordan's autobiography, you can do anything.
