Overseas trained teachers
We are not currently accepting central applications from
overseas trained teachers
(OTTs)
.
To work as a qualified teacher in
England, you must have Qualified Teacher Status
(QTS)
. Those without
(QTS) can work
as an unqualified teacher ('instructor') or temporary teacher (and
be paid as an unqualified teacher).
In order to gain (
QTS)
, overseas-qualified teachers
(OTTs) need to
ensure that their qualifications and training are equivalent to UK
trained teachers.
The minimum requirements are
qualifications equivalent to English and Mathematics GCSE grade C,
a first (bachelor) degree along with a teaching qualification
recognised in the home country.
The agency responsible for checking
the equivalency of qualifications is the National Academic
Recognition Information Centre
(NARIC)
.
This is a charged service. For further details, please
