Qualifications for Teaching in the UK

To teach in the UK, international teachers must hold equivalent teaching qualifications. The most recognised qualifications include a B.Ed, PGCE, or an equivalent degree. Many international qualifications are accepted, but you may need to have them verified by UK ENIC (European Network of Information Centres, previously known as NARIC), an agency that assesses international qualifications. Additionally, obtaining QTS is crucial for teaching in most schools. This can be achieved through routes like the AO route, the Overseas Trained Teacher (OTT) program, or by completing an accredited teacher training program in the UK.
