The route is suitable for teachers who have been teaching unqualified or for overseas trained teachers who have already been teaching in the UK. Applicants register with an approved Assessment Only provider and present a portfolio of evidence, drawn from their teaching, which is assessed against the QTS standards.
They are also observed teaching in their placement to confirm their practice meets the standards. QTLS is the badge of professionalism for post education and training. It is a professional status that can be gained through the process of professional formation but it is not a qualification.
Therefore if you hold QTLS you are able to teach across all subjects and all ages on equal pay and conditions, giving non-graduates the opportunity of becoming a teacher. Applicants will also require at least Level 2 in Maths and English, although if you wish to teach English you will need a Level 3 and the same if you wish to teach Maths.
You complete an e-portfolio online that involves writing narrative and linking supporting evidence, drawn from the date of registering for professional formation. So we hope you are now aware of the different routes to becoming a teacher in the UK. Please be aware that for undergraduates there is also the BA Hons route with QTS that is a very popular choice for primary school teacher training.
If you are a graduate we would advise getting some experience within a school as a teaching assistant. This may help you to decide whether you would prefer school based training or a University course and you would gain valuable experience on the way.

The School Direct training programme was introduced in with a view to moving teacher training towards a more school-based approach Trainees are introduced to the full teacher role gradually, starting off with a small timetable of teaching alongside lesson observations, with teaching time increasing as you develop in the role.

If someone has QTLS and is a member of SET then they are eligible to be paid as a qualified teacher in any maintained school including a primary school. In all cases the employing school will determine through robust recruitment processes whether a potential applicant holding QTLS has the requisite knowledge, experience and skills for the role and will also take into account that they have trained to teach in the learning and skills sector. There may be some teachers, for example those with experience of working in SEND settings who have transferable skills, knowledge and experience that mean that they can work in a primary setting.
That is a decision for employers. No, in order to be awarded QTLS you have to undertake professional formation following your initial teacher education, this is considered to be equivalent to induction.
The advice on the DfE website makes this clear. Their employer has the choice of which standards they use to make those decisions. The regulations make allowances for SET members who hold QTLS to be employed as a qualified teacher in a maintained school, recognising that there will be some circumstances where this would be beneficial to schools. If you are thinking about teaching in Further Education, then the FE Advice Service will be able to help in terms of the options available to you.
If you think teaching in a school might be your preference, then you should contact Get Into Teaching to discuss the various routes available. Please note that some members have chosen not to be listed on the register so if you believe a person holds QTLS who is not on the register then please call free number or email us at membership etfoundation.
You will also need to confirm that they continue to be a member of the Society for Education and Training in order to maintain their equivalence to QTS for employment purposes. FE teachers are not issued with a TRN as a matter of course as they only relate to teaching in a school.
