Who is the Tariff of Qualifications (ITT) for?

The Tariff of Qualifications (ITT), managed by Standards Verification UK (SVUK), has been designed for intending, new or existing members of the initial teacher training (ITT) workforce who are working in:

• those providers covered by the Further Education Teachers’ Qualifications (England) Regulations (2007) i.e. further education colleges, sixth form colleges and independent specialist colleges
• community learning and development, work based learning providers and other providers delivering Skills Funding Agency learning provision contracts

and who wish to

• work towards Associate or Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills status as conferred by IfL or
• gain General Professional Recognition Learning and Skills (GPRLS).

To check out the relationship of your qualification to the new qualifications, please see what qualifications are on the Tariff.

Information for awarding institutions

The Tariff of Qualifications (ITT), including  top-up and CPD information can be used to ensure that:

• trainees start their journey at the appropriate stage of CTLLS and DTLLS
• gaps in their coverage of the units and the currency of their qualifications can be addressed through top-up modules, additional activity or APLA.

Information for HR and staff development departments in employing organisations

The Tariff of Qualifications (ITT) can be used to identify:

• the relationship and appropriateness of qualifications that employees already hold to their teaching/training role:

1. teachers at the beginning of their teaching career should gain PTLLS
2. teachers in the Associate Teacher Role should gain CTLLS
3. teachers in the Full Teacher role should gain DTLLS.

• areas which could be addressed through CPD to cover elements, which have been introduced over time and have not been covered in the exisiting qualification, e.g. introduction of the minimum core, emphasis on subject specialism and personalised learning.
