All Newly Qualified Teachers have to do on-the-job training to be able to teach in state schools, but what does it actually mean for your child to be taught by an NQT? Login or Register to add to your saved resources. We explain what it means to be taught by an NQT. Trial it for FREE today. An NQT is a teacher who has just attained Qualified Teacher Status QTS , and is now undertaking an induction programme that enables them to be legally employed as a teacher in a maintained school.
Independent schools are usually very keen to find academically strong undergraduates and graduates with a good degree relevant to the subject they will teach. If you are interested in working in the independent sector you can apply for a teaching job without teaching qualifications. Once you have been accepted into the job, you then begin training for your qualifications in your school.
Most graduate trainees want to achieve a teaching qualification which is accepted across sectors. It is also satisfying to know that Qualified Teacher Status QTS gained while working in the independent or state maintained sector is transferable between sectors. This is a statutory qualification that is equally valid in whichever sector you have trained.
The whole purpose of your NQT year is to help you become a successful teacher. You will be offered personalised support and guidance through your first full year of your teaching career. However, there are certain requirements to be met in some independent schools, nursery schools, and also some sixth-form colleges.
Be careful though, because not all schools run continuous NQT inductions. Consequently, if you are thinking of doing your NQT year abroad, make sure you contact the school abroad before applying for your NQT year. Yes you can do your NQT year part-time. However, your post will need to last for a term or more to count towards your induction period.
The standard NQT induction period consists of three terms, and lasts for one full academic year. However, you can spread this out over several years if you wish. You can take two or more years to complete your NQT year. You could take a break, such as maternity leave, and then come back to your NQT training when it suits your situation. There is no actual time limit on doing your NQT year.
You just need to find a headteacher who is happy to give you an opportunity and offer you a position following a long gap after your QTS qualification. When it comes to the end of your first term, your mentor will sit down with you and assess your performance. Your NQT mentor will assess whether you are meeting the required teaching standards.
And they will also provide feedback on all your observed lessons. You will have a chance to ask questions and discuss ideas to improve your teaching performance. This will happen again at the end of your second term. Once you have completed your third and final term, your final assessment will determine if you have met all of the teaching standards.
You will need to provide your full name, date of birth and national insurance number. Please email or call us using the above details if you have any questions about the DQT, your record or you experience problems accessing the service.
Can I still apply for jobs as an NQT? What if it has been years since doing my training year? This should be good news for people who want more flexibility and prefer part-time work.
