I work in this area. The main route in for people who would've gone to a teacher training college would now be via a SCITT (School-centred initial teacher training) provider. Often SCITT courses will include a PGCE but some don't; either way once you've completed a course you'll be ready to teach. The benefit of these courses over a college-based approach is that the teachers spend a lot of time in classrooms by comparison with other methods. It gives ample opportunity to work out whether or not they're on the right path. https://www.ucas.com/teaching-option/school-centred-initial-teacher-training-scitt https://www.ucas.com/teaching-option/school-centred-initial-...
