Awarded
If you have been awarded QTLS, you will be notified via email on results day. This email will contain your feedback as an attachment.
If you log into your QTLS portfolio, your home page will have been updated and you will see a new button in the top right hand corner. This new button will allow you to download another copy of your feedback, if required.
Your certificate
Once you have received confirmation of your award, you will be able to request a copy of your certificate, via your via your SET Dashboard. This will be sent to the email address associated with your SET account.
Your formal certificate in hard copy is produced by a third party and will be sent to you approximately 6-8 weeks after award. We can also confirm your status to your employer directly, if necessary.
Please make sure we have your up-to-date address so we can get your certificate to you. You can do this on your SET dashboard, under 'My profile'.
Professional Status Register
You will be automatically listed on the publicly searchable QTLS Professional Register once you are awarded. If you don’t wish to be publicly listed please let us know on membership@etfoundation.co.uk and your details will be removed.
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
All members who are awarded QTLS and who maintain their QTLS status through membership will be issued with a Teacher Reference Number (TRN) by the Teaching Regulation Agency (an executive agency of the Department for Education - DfE). Members will also be listed in the DfE’s central record of qualified teachers as a qualified teacher having attained Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) through the QTLS route.
To facilitate this, the Society for Education and Training/Education and Training Foundation have entered into a data sharing agreement with the DfE. You can opt out at any time by contacting us on dataprotection@etfoundation.co.uk Your personal data will be shared in line with our Privacy Notice. If you already hold QTS and a TRN via another route this will not be affected. Please read our FAQs for more information.
Criteria not met
If you have not been successful, you will be notified via email on results day. This email will contain your feedback as an attachment. If you log into your QTLS portfolio, your home page will have been updated and you will see a new button in the top right-hand corner. This new button will allow you to download another copy of your feedback if required.
You will also have the option to resubmit, once you have uploaded the required evidence. Please ensure that you are ready to resubmit before pressing this button.
If you are given a 'Criteria Not Met' result, you have until 5pm on the re-submission deadline (usually six months after the initial results have been released) to resubmit your workbook. You can only resubmit once – this is free of charge. If you are unclear about what revisions you need to make to resubmit, you can email membership@etfoundation.co.uk to receive clarity on your feedback.
