If you’re considering a career in teaching in Wales you will need to get qualified teacher status (QTS) by studying on a programme of Initial Teacher Education (ITE) accredited by us, through our ITE Accreditation Board.

ITE programmes provide professional education and development of student teachers. They prepare them for work in schools in Wales and provide the foundation for career long professional learning. These programmes are based on learning that is rigorously practical and intellectually challenging, and try to make sure that teachers are committed to excellence, professionalism, and high quality teaching.
