On successful completion, the Department for Education (DfE) in England, will automatically award you Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), qualifying you to teach in schools in England too.

Entry Requirements

For Secondary (11-16) you should typically meet the following criteria:

  • A standard equivalent to a GCSE grade C/4 in Mathematics.
  • An undergraduate degree, or a recognised equivalent qualification. This is typically 2:2 or higher but we will look at all applications against the demands of the course.
  • You need to have robust prior knowledge, skills and understanding of mathematics appropriate to teaching at 11-16 level in order to enrol on this course. This may have been as part of your undergraduate degree studies, but we may also consider other qualifications and experience as evidence of subject knowledge. We suggest that you explore the content in the current English National Curriculum for Mathematics for key stage 3 (11-13yrs) and key stage 4 (14-16yrs). Prior subject knowledge will be addressed through the admissions process, including a subject knowledge audit, and at interview.

You must meet all of the iQTS Teachers’ Standards, including those that relate to subject and curriculum knowledge, by the end of your training. Full support will be provided to ensure you are clear on the requirements of the iQTS Teachers’ Standards.
