QTLS: The Next Step in Your Teaching Career

Is QTLS the Right Way to Become a Teacher?

Teaching, without a doubt is a noble and rewarding profession that can have a significant impact on the lives of people. However, since there are a number of different routes to becoming a teacher, it can be challenging to know which one is right for you. One option that is gaining popularity in the UK is the Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) status. QTLS provides a route into teaching for those who do not have a traditional teaching qualification but have a substantial experience in their subject area. On the other hand, Qualified Teaching Status (QTS) an equally important status, is a legal requirement for teaching in primary sectors in majority of the schools across UK. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that you plan out your aims and journey carefully in order to board the right ship.

The first step should be exploring all your options. Here is a blog that can help you know the Common Routes to Achieving a QTLS & Qualified Teacher Status in UK.

QTLS (Qualified Teacher Learning & Skills) is a Professional Status recognised in the education sector. This is the perfect path for anyone who has completed the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training or will complete the upcoming Level 5 Diploma in Teaching (FE and Skills). Though QTLS is designed for teachers and trainers working in the FE and Skills sector, such as colleges, independent training providers etc., majority of our clients that are state maintained schools and private schools, have shown an increasing trend to prefer QTLS over QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) because of QTLS being a quicker, flexible and affordable option.
