Professional Registration

Professional Registration forms part of the Framework for Professional Recognition / Registration, allowing teachers to achieve registration in different subject areas or sectors (primary/secondary) and taking further responsibility for their own development.

GTC Scotland recognises that teachers bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the profession but that they may want to change or add to their subjects or move to another sector.

• have completed a further 2 years teaching service since gaining full registration
• have 80 Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) points in the subject you wish to add (secondary)
