You take the QTVI course. Birmingham runs it at least, and you need QTS first. I think qtvi's a year.

What subjects would i need for a level

You need to be a qualified teacher.
before going for the teacher of the visually-impaired.
To do that, you'll need:
A degree (or equivalent) of a 2:2 or above. If you want to teach at secondary or post-compulsory level, your degree should be in, or relevant to, the subject you want to teach. If it's not, contact a training provider as you may be able to take a subject knowledge enhancement course.
At least a GCSE grade C/4 or equivalent in English and maths. If you want to teach primary or early years you will also need a GCSE grade C/4 or equivalent in a science subject. Some training providers may accept equivalency tests but you'll need to check with the individual provider.

So to answer the specific question, gain an A-Level in a subject you'd be comfortable teaching.

They often require a few years experience teaching too. This is literally the career path I am starting in September.
I am blind, my masters is in computer science, so will be teaching computer science in secondary schools. Then after a few years specialize in teaching of vi
