Straight to Teaching

Our QTS development programme, Straight to Teaching, is designed to help existing school staff become qualified teachers through a bespoke QTS preparation programme. Programmes run in Primary and all main Secondary subjects and the length ranges from 1-5 terms, depending on the learner’s existing experience.

Pathway Tutors are expected to work with a school mentor in supporting the learner’s development by providing regular guidance, feedback and support online. They will also be responsible for creating a personalised QTS preparation programme for their learners during an initial needs assessment. The tutor will visit their learner at least once a term in school.

You can find out more about the programme here.

Assessment Only

Our Assessment Only route is for unqualified teachers with a degree and significant teaching experience. The learner should be almost fully prepared to meet the Teaching Standards and will be enrolled following a Pathway Tutor Enrolment Visit to confirm eligibility. The learner will be guided by their Pathway Tutor to finalise evidence and prepare for their final QTS Assessment.
