Qualified Teachers

Qualified teachers in the UK are professionals who have completed specific training and meet the standards set by the national regulatory bodies. They typically hold a degree in education or a related subject and have completed a postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE) or equivalent training program. To qualify, teachers must also obtain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), which is awarded after successfully completing a period of supervised practice in schools, known as Initial Teacher Training (ITT). This involves both theoretical learning and practical experience in the classroom.
