Endorsement in England
Information about Endorsement
Standards Verification UK (SVUK) endorses teacher training qualifications for teachers, tutors and trainers in the lifelong learning sector in England, which are validated by institutions in England.
Significant changes to the requirements for initial teacher training (ITT) qualifications for teachers, tutors and trainers, who work in the learning and skills sector in England, came into effect in September 2007 through the Further Education Teachers' Qualifications (England) Regulations 2007, which were introduced as part of the 'Equipping our Teachers' agenda.
For further information about ITT qualifications in England, please call the LLUK Information and Advice Service.
For information about ITT qualifications, which have received endorsement or interim endorsement by SVUK under the September 2007 ITT regulations, please view the tables of endorsed qualifications in England.
Information is also available about qualifications which were developed prior to September 2007 in England under the 2001 FE Teacher Regulations.
If you are an awarding institution wishing to apply for endorsement of a new ITT qualification, please download information here about the process of applying for endorsement.
