Assessment Only Route to QTS
We are able to provide an Assessment Only Route to QTS that does not include any training element. This is suitable for unqualified instructors or teachers that wish to gain QTS in recognition of the skills, experience and expertise that they have developed while working as teachers within schools.
It is a suitable route for overseas qualified teachers that are not able to gain QTS through mutual recognition from the DfE.

Recommended by Professionals
"Having now mentored three candidates through the assessment only route provided by Bromley Schools' Collegiate, I can say that
- without hesitation - we made the right choice as a school to have BSC as our provider. In particular, the relationship that we also developed as a school with our assessor was a very positive experience that remained consistent and clear during the 12 week period of the AO programme. The process of observations outlined by BSC and the documentation expected of the school was also a valid and effective way to monitor candidates and provide feedback against the teaching standards, also providing clear targets and areas for improvement."
