The Assessment Only Route to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) allows you to demonstrate that you already meet all the Teachers' Standards for Primary teaching. It does not include any training and is only suitable if you are currently working in the UK as an unqualified teacher.

The assessment process

The assessment will include:

  • a completed application form, including a personal statement and your teaching timetable
  • a reference from your current employing school or college
  • presentation of comprehensive and detailed evidence to show how you meet the Teachers' Standards for QTS
  • observation and assessment of your teaching in a school
  • Disclosure and Barring Service and Prohibition Order checks.
How long does the assessment take?

The assessment will be completed within a maximum period of 12 weeks. If a longer period or training is required, then an alternative training programme can be advised.

As school observations are required, the assessment can not take place over school holidays. Therefore, assessments will not take place until the Autumn term for any applications made after the Easter period.

Placements

This course does not currently offer placements. Applicants must have access to a UK teaching environment where they can be assessed prior to applying.
