If you’re a graduate currently working as an unqualified teacher in England, you could achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) via the Assessment Only route.
- If you have a degree and over 2 years experience of working in a school, early years, or further education setting, this option allows you to gain QTS without undergoing an initial teacher training programme.
- The Assessment Only route does not lead to a PGCE qualification. You don’t need a PGCE qualification to teach in England.
