Overseas Trained Teachers - Entry Requirements

If you qualified outside the European Economic Area (EEA), you will need: An overseas teaching qualification and the equivalent to a UK Bachelor's degree, a qualification equivalent to GCSE grade C or above in mathematics and English (for primary teaching, you must also have the equivalent of GCSE grade C or above in science).

If you qualified as a teacher in Scotland, Wales, the EEA or Switzerland, you may be eligible for QTS without further assessment.

The UK National Academic Recognition Information Centre (NARIC) can give advice on the equivalence of overseas degree qualifications. Call the OTT Administration Unit on 01245 454 321 for help in accessing the NARIC database.
