2. Submit a Flexible Route profile
If your application is successful, we will add Provisional Registration in ASN to your GTC Scotland Registration.
In order to gain Full Registation, you will need to meet the requirements for Full Registration before completing a document-based Flexible Route profile. To complete this profile, you must obtain a declaration from a headteacher or senior leader who currently holds Full (General) Registration with GTC Scotland that you have met the Standard for Full Registration in respect of ASN.
There are no minimum days required, but we advise that an observation is completed after the equivalent of a period of 20 days working in your endorsing headteacher or senior leader’s school. If you are already teaching in ASN you may submit the completed Flexible Route profile with your application for registration. In this case, if your application is successful and your Flexible Route profile recommends you for Full Registration, we will add Full Registration in ASN to your GTC Scotland Registration.
