QTS without doing a teacher training programme
If you’re an experienced teacher with a degree, and have substantial experience of working in a school, early years, or FE setting, you could gain QTS without doing a teacher training programme.
Perhaps you have been studying for your degree while working, or maybe you have been working as an unqualified teacher for many years after a change in career. If so, then the AO route could be right for you.

Am I eligible for the Assessment Only route?
Suitable candidates will be experienced teachers able to present detailed evidence of their teaching, hold a Level 6 degree and do not require any additional further training to meet QTS.
All candidates will also be assessed as meeting the Teaching Standards within one of the following age phases:
Primary
Ages 5 to 11
Secondary
Ages 11 to 16
Ages 11 to 19
How is the programme delivered?
A KMT assessor will visit you at your school to observe you and prepare you for the final assessment, which will be carried out by a separate member of the KMT AO team. You will need to gather detailed evidence that you are meeting the Teachers’ Standards. This includes observations by your school mentor and professional tutor, as well as some reflective practice tasks set by us.
