Updating how you recommend trainees for qualified teacher status (QTS) or early years teacher status (EYTS)

18 July 2024

We’ve updated the way you recommend trainees for QTS or EYTS in Register trainee teachers (Register).

Your trainees’ degree fields in Register are now ‘mandatory’. You must submit accurate data into these fields before you can recommend your trainees for QTS or EYTS.

This update applies when you recommend a trainee within their trainee record, and when you recommend multiple trainees at the same time, using the bulk recommend tool.

If you need help meeting these requirements, email us at becomingateacher@digital.education.gov.uk.
