    I am just putting together my professional formation for QTLS and I am abit confused on what to do. Do I just write statements on REFLECT can I just add evidence through paperwork ie. peer observations or both??

    Both - I think. That's what I've done so far, but I'm using the old style portfolio. I need to finish mine off at half-term.

    Yeah Reflect is way that it has to be done. But they changed the format of the submission portfolio before Xmas. For one reason or another I'm still using the old one (it's a long story).

    Can't wait to join you in the fun! Unfortunately my Uni are now saying there is a glitch (their word not mine!) in their system so they can't send me my certificate to scan....I attended graduation in October and have been trying to get my PGCE cert since then - I keep wondering if they are suddenly going to announce they've changed their mind!

    Hello

    Can anyone tell me this- if I am not employed , but doing voluntary work in my subject can I still complete QTLS?

    At the moment jobs are hard to come by HELP HELP

    I would be grateful if someone would mail me the answer too this question - I am beginning to panic - who wants to waste all that hard work?

     

    For those of you not working I think that Goverment should amend its policy for those newly qualified teachers  by waving QTS/QTLS (due to the recession) who have not got a cats hell in chance of getting a job!!!!!

    Anyone else agree???? sign here

    You have five years following your date of first appointment in the sector to complete professional formation and gain QTLS - unlike schools, it is not a pre-entry requirement.  If I have read your various posts correctly, you have completed the Diploma (or equivalent) but are yet to start teaching - so, you have a head start.  If you are teaching in a voluntary capacity you can undertake professional formation, using thisexperience as evidence of your practice, though the type and nature of the voluntary teaching you do may limit the experience you are able to present if you are working towards QTLS, which supposes a full teaching role.

    So, you don't need QTLS to be waived, nor do you need an extension.  As far as I can make out.
