Do my qualifications allow me to teach in England?

 

To teach children aged 11 to 18 in secondary school, you’ll need a Bachelor of Education (this can be from a university outside the UK) and have a specialisation in one or more subjects.

To teach children aged 3 to 11 in a primary school or early childhood setting you will need a Bachelor of Education (primary or early years)

If you have full teachers registration in NZ, AU, CA or the USA you can apply for your QTS through mutual recognition.  All other teachers will need to apply for an ENIC to show that their qualifications compare.

This is done through ‘statement of comparability’.
