How is it determined what registration category/subject(s) my application for registration is going to be considered for?

You will be considered for registration in the age range/subject(s) that the subject studies and teaching experience completed during your teacher education related to. Once we know what age range and subjects your teacher education related to we will check whether your qualification meet the academic education requirements for registration in these.

GTC Scotland offers registration to teachers in:

Primary Education – relates to teaching across the curriculum and covers the 3 – 12 years age range.

Secondary Education– is specific to teaching in one or more subject areas and covers the 12 – 18 years age range.

Further Education – is non subject specific and covers the 16 + years age range.
