Scotland and Northern Ireland
QTS as such does not exist in Scotland or Northern Ireland. However, similarly in England and Wales, all teachers in Scotland and Northern Ireland are required to register with either the General Teaching Council for Scotland or the General Teaching Council for Northern Ireland; the General Teaching Councils will consider only graduates with a teaching qualifications (such as the PGCE or PGDE) for registration.
In Scotland, a one-year probation period (equivalent to induction in England and Wales) must be completed.
Those holding English or Welsh QTS (or an equivalent from another country) must apply for registration with the relevant General Teaching Council. Each case is considered individually; even those with English or Welsh QTS are not guaranteed to be allowed to teach in Scotland or Northern Ireland.
