Assessment Only Route

The Assessment Only route is only available to current Northern Education Trust employees.

Achieving Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) by the Assessment Only Route takes no longer than one term (three calendar months). Candidates, with the support of their academy, present a portfolio of evidence from their past and current teaching experience which is assessed against the Teachers’ Standards.
