Why you have to pay an annual registration fee

GTC Scotland’s governing legislation (The Public Services Reform (General Teaching Council for Scotland) Order 2011), gives GTC Scotland the legal authority to charge a registration fee. GTC Scotland requires all individuals registered on the Register of Teachers to pay a registration fee to maintain their registration. This Fee Policy sets out the principles and rules that GTC Scotland applies in setting, charging and collecting fees under the Order.

Fee Policy

The current registration fee is £75. The fee is used by GTC Scotland to deliver our core tasks and functions.

The annual registration fee is teachers’ individual contribution to their collective responsibility as a self-regulating profession.
