You must have been awarded and certificated for a Teacher Education qualification that is equivalent to Diploma in Education and Training (DET) before registering for Professional Formation leading to QTLS or Advanced Teacher Status (ATS).
QTLS and ATS participants will need a minimum Level 5 qualification with a credit value of 120 that includes a practical teaching component requiring the logging of 100 hours of teaching and eight observations of your teaching.
The following are accepted by SET as qualifications equivalent to a DET, but please note that this list is not exhaustive. If you have any queries about whether your qualification would be acceptable for you to register for QTLS or ATS, please contact membership@etfoundation.co.uk with a scanned copy/photograph of your certificate and accompanying transcript. If your qualification was gained outside the UK, you will also need to forward a UK ENIC statement of comparability.
