Do you have considerable experience working in education but still need to achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)? We offer a flexible, convenient pathway to help you realise your ambitions and progress your teaching career.
Our Assessment Only Route to QTS could be ideal if you are:
Working as an unqualified teacher – paid or unpaid in a primary or secondary setting
A cover supervisor, Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) or supply teacher
An experienced Further Education lecturer now working in a school and keen to gain QTS
An overseas trained teacher who does not automatically qualify for QTS or who did not gain QTS within the four-year limit
The Assessment Only Route is open to colleagues in Independent Schools, Academies, Special Schools, PRUs
Formalise your teaching skills and open up your career prospects. If you are an experienced teacher with a degree, this route is your chance to demonstrate that you already meet all the standards for QTS – without the need for further training.
You will need to:
Hold a degree from a United Kingdom institution or an equivalent qualification. We will ask to view the original certificates to validate your degree status.
Hold GCSE grade 4 or above in Mathematics and English or equivalent and evidence with official certification. Information on replacement certificates can be found on the UK Gov website.
If you intend to train to teach pupils aged 3 to 11, you additionally need to have achieved a standard equivalent to a grade 4 in the GCSE examination in a science subject and can evidence this with official certification.
The European Network of Information Centres in the European Region (ENIC) provides advice on the equivalence of overseas qualifications.
Please note that Key Skills qualifications and OCR Level 2 Adult Literacy and Numeracy are not acceptable alternatives. Equivalency tests are only accepted from A Star Equivalency.
With Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), you will be able to advance in one of the most satisfying and important careers of all. The qualification opens doors to greater responsibilities, more senior roles and progression up the pay scale.
You could also consider taking your skills and knowledge to the next level. Our MA Education is an excellent option, especially if you have your sights set on more senior roles such as middle and senior leadership roles.
