QTS
QTS (qualified teacher status) allows you to teach in state schools in England.
It may also allow you to teach in the EU, the EEA and Switzerland. You should check with the institution you’d like to teach in for confirmation. The status of QTS in these countries may change after the UK leaves the EU. Please check GOV.UK for updates.
To teach in the rest of the UK or internationally, you may wish to consider a ‘PGCE (or PGDE) with QTS’ qualification instead.

About the course
The course combines an intensive programme of initial teacher training with real experience and responsibility. The aim is to develop your competence, confidence and skills in the classroom and with students in secondary school. The course will give you teaching experience across at least two key stages of the 11-18 age range.
You will be expected to maintain an extensive professional portfolio showing achievement in relation to the Teachers’ Standards for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
On the salaried route you will be employed by your host school for the duration of the course, and be given classroom responsibilities right from the start.
On the non-salaried route you will slowly be introduced to classroom responsibilities and teach up to 60% of a teacher's timetable.
After the year, if you successfully complete your assignments, observations and portfolio, you will gain Qualified Teacher Status.
The course includes:
Bespoke 1:1 mentoring
Fortnightly lectures
Subject specific and general pedagogy sessions
Fortnightly shiur (talk) for trainees who specialise in Jewish Studies
General pedagogy sessions include topics such as: behaviour management, assessment techniques, differentiation in the classroom
We also run a bi-annual specialist trip to Israel for 5 days
Excellent relevant training is provided by expert practitioners and subject specialists, tailored to the individual needs of trainees.
