Working with schools worldwide
We work with both international schools and local educational systems, school leaders and teachers to help improve the quality of teaching and leadership in schools around the world.
Our innovative and flexible online solutions ensure we can work together, wherever you are in the world, to develop your existing staff and support future teacher recruitment.
We have had the pleasure of a NITE student teacher on placement at The High School Ballynahinch this year. They have been a valuable member of staff and we have learned from each other. The opportunity to have a student teacher, especially in such a sought-after subject, for an entire calendar year has been so helpful to us as a school.

Is this iQTS recognised in my home country?
The iPGCE with iQTS is a professional teaching qualification awarded by Coventry University’s National Institute of Teaching and Education (NITE).
The Department for Education (DfE) in England recognises iQTS as equal to QTS (Qualified Teacher Status). Those who have successfully completed the iQTS qualification with NITE will be automatically awarded QTS.
If the iQTS holder then wishes to teach in a maintained school or non-maintained special school in England, they will need to complete an induction period. They will be able to complete their induction either in a DfE-accredited British School Overseas (BSO) or in a relevant school in England.
As iQTS is a professional qualification, it does not necessarily grant holders with the required teaching licence or access to a teacher induction programme in their respective countries. Prior to accepting a place on our iPGCE with iQTS course, prospective candidates are advised to check any necessary local requirements for a teacher licence and/or induction programme with their teaching authority.
