Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills

Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills

In September 2007 the UK Government introduced reforms to the training and qualifications of all teachers, tutors, trainers, lecturers and instructors working in the post-compulsory education and training sector (sometimes referred to as the lifelong learning sector).

A key element of these reforms is the introduction of a new status of Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS).

Gaining QTLS

A candidate must have completed and passed a teacher training course approved by Lifelong Learning UK. The candidate must then register with the Institute for Learning which maintains a list of all accredited professionals in the sector. This leads to the awarding of a 'License to Practice'. Maintenance of this license requires the individual to undertake and record annual Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
