Qualified Teacher Status

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is a certification in the UK that confirms a teacher has met the required standards to teach in state-funded schools. It ensures they possess the necessary skills, knowledge, and professionalism to provide quality education. Achieving QTS involves completing approved training and assessments, demonstrating competence across areas like classroom management, subject knowledge, and safeguarding. Once qualified, teachers are authorized to work independently in schools, contributing to student development and maintaining professional standards in education.
