My Journey:
As a course leader and instructor, I personally undertook the Level 5 Education & Training qualification which afforded me the opportunity to obtain QTLS which has parity with QTS. This meant that I could train whilst working.
The Education & Training qualification opened doors for me. I was able to undertake my PGCE and subsequent MA and EdD studies in the field of Education, and the professional status it has allowed me to build over the years.
This has afforded me experience in mainstream, specialist and international settings, as well as in consultancy services for a range of Local Authorities and Government Bodies.
The kudos in being able to say that ‘I am a qualified teacher’ has opened doors that would otherwise have been very firmly closed.
