Your work and career – teaching courses
Accreditation
All our teaching courses lead to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), the professional qualification for teachers. QTS enables you to teach in schools in England and Wales.
We are also rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted for Initial Teacher Education (ITE). You can read what Ofsted said about our ITE Partnership in their inspection report.
