Teacher Training Courses
Important Note about the previous Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training
This qualification will no longer be available after 24th September 2025. Although some organisations are still allowing registrations for the DET, you would no longer be eligible for the QTLS programme. Anyone who started their DET course after the 1st September 2024, will not be eligible for the QTLS programme. The only college-based route to QTLS is now the Level 5 Diploma in Teaching.
