R1.2

All ITT providers must ensure:

That, in the case of graduate QTS courses of initial teacher training, all entrants hold a first degree of a United Kingdom higher education institution or equivalent qualification.

Footnote: A first degree comprises 300 HE credit points of which 60 must be at a level 6 of the NQF.

The aim of this requirement is to ensure the graduate status of teaching. All entrants should have attained a qualification that demonstrates the level of knowledge, understanding and transferable intellectual skills associated with graduate status.
