Addressing your QTS concerns

Nigerian teachers often excel in their teaching abilities, but understanding how the UK system interprets their qualifications and experience can be a challenge. We know the confusion often revolves around eligibility, various routes, and what genuinely "counts" for QTS.

Common concerns we clarify:

  • "Am I actually eligible for QTS?"
  • Confusion about routes to QTS
  • "Do I need a UK qualification first?"
  • Documentation uncertainty
  • How long the process truly takes
  • "Will UK schools actually hire me?"

Our goal is to make these points clear, providing you with the accurate information and support your need to navigate each step effectively.
