Overview
During the period of the Assessment Only Route to QTS programme offered by the University of Worcester, typically no longer than 12 weeks, you will be supported in enhancing the evidence of your skills, knowledge and behaviours as a teacher who is going to thrive within the profession.This route is offered for both secondary and primary practitioners and you will be supported by specialists in your phase and subject.
As QTS is awarded by the Department for Education, Assessment Only Route teachers who qualify will not receive an award from the University and will therefore not participate in graduation.
