Verification of Qualifications
A TEACHER UK teacher recruitment policy is to ensure that all candidates are graduates, to degree level, and hold a recognised teacher qualification. This applies to both UK and overseas candidates. Candidates are asked to provide original certificates and, in the case of UK trained teachers, an original letter confirming QTS and their DfES number. In the absence of these documents, Teachers UK seek confirmation from the General Teaching Council.
Qualifications for overseas candidates must be equivalent to UK trained teachers and can be checked using UK National Academic Recognition Information Centre (UK Naric). UK Naric has been contracted by the DfES to provide official guidance on the UK level of overseas qualifications.
Schools are always notified of a teacher’s qualification status, i.e. QTS, FE, etc.
