I have GCSEs of grade C and above in Maths, English and ICT, do I still need to take the QTS skills tests in numeracy, literacy and ICT?
A. Yes, the tests have been designed to ensure all teachers are competent in numeracy, literacy and ICT, regardless of their specialism. The tests do not replace the GCSE grade C or above entry requirements. The tests cover the core skills that teachers need to fulfill their wider professional role in schools. Test questions in all three skills areas have been written using real data and information which teachers are likely to use. They have been extensively trialed and piloted by trainee teachers and teachers. The tests are computerised and can be taken at any of approximately 50 test centres throughout England. You will need to obtain a pass mark of at least 60 per cent for each skills test. Please note: the requirement to take the QTS skills tests is only applicable to candidates undertaking their initial teacher training (ITT) in England. Once you have enrolled on an ITT course you will be given a skills test number by your ITT provider. All three skills tests must be successfully
