Overview
Gain Qualified Teacher Status in primary or secondary education via the Assessment Only Route
Since September 2012, we have offered the highly successful Assessment Only Route, giving suitably qualified and experienced candidates the opportunity to gain Qualified Teacher Status without the need for extensive training.
Gaining QTS will enable you to teach in any school in the country whether state-maintained, independent or an academy.
For Assessment Only, the assessment phase would normally last up to 12 weeks after successful completion of the Initial Assessment Visit by a university assessor.
Candidates need to meet Department for Education (DfE) compliancy criteria and required teaching experience.
There is no expectation of training within this route; however, the school is expected to give high levels of professional guidance and support.
This route covers a large geographical area including:
- Dorset
- Hampshire
- Isle of Wight
- West Sussex
- Surrey.
