Assessment Only Route

This assessment only route applies to candidates who have taught in an educational environment for a substantial number of years, giving you the opportunity to apply for QTS without the need for embarking on a full teacher training program. An example would be an unqualified teacher working in a school for the qualifying period or a teacher working in in a college or higher learning setting. Please see the below link for more information.

Eligibility

Candidates must have achieved a standard equivalent to a grade 4 GCSE in English and Mathematics (and Science if you are training to teach at primary level). Candidates with overseas qualifications should provide a ENIC statement to demonstrate the equivalency of their qualification.

Candidates must hold a first degree from a UK higher education institution or equivalent qualification 2:2 or above.

You’ll need to show that you meet the Teachers’ Standards for your chosen teaching specialism and have taught across two key stages in two schools.

Typically, a 12-week programme.

This Autumn 2024, the government plans to launch a new teaching apprenticeship, helping to support more people to earn while they study for a degree, and we look forward to telling you more about this throughout the year!
