Step By Step Guide On How To Apply For QTS Program In England

The professional teaching credential known as qualified teacher status (QTS) is earned through English teacher education.

You can work as a teacher in England for up to four years without a QTS if you are a qualified teacher from outside the UK.

After that, to teach in many English schools, you’ll need QTS. Even though it is not required by law in all types of schools (like academies, free schools, and private schools), having QTS will make it easier for you to get a teaching job in England.

If you are qualified to teach or have acquired teaching experience outside of the UK, this guidance explains how to apply for QTS.

In England, schools hire teachers on their own, not the Department for Education. You will need to submit separate applications for your teaching job and visa if you decide to apply for QTS.
