The Programme Route

The Programme Route is often referred to as the module route because it involves teachers undertaking a structured course of study with an one of the Accredited Chartered Teacher Providers.

Teachers are required to complete a total of 12 modules (a total of 180 credit points) before making a claim for the Professional Award of Chartered Teacher to GTC Scotland. 

After completing Module 1 Self Evaluation, teachers are required to complete a further:

• 3 core modules
• 4 option modules
• and the equivalent of 4 modules for a work-based project

Teachers may also claim a maximum 50% (6 modules) of the Chartered Teacher programme as prior learning. 

Keeping a record of progress

All teachers following the programme route are required to keep a record of their progress in a Module Log. 

The information entered into the log will enable them to create a history of modules completed and must be presented for all modules when making the application for the Professional Award of Chartered Teacher.
