Proof that you’re recognised as a teacher
Provide your written statement
For your QTS application, you’ll need to provide a Letter of Professional Standing (LoPs) from the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN). The LoPs will serve as proof that you’re are a qualified teacher in Nigeria.
You should request it by emailing LoPs@trcn.gov.ng.
You cannot send this document yourself – instead, you must contact the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) by emailing LoPs@trcn.gov.ng and ask them to send it directly to ApplyQTS.Verification@education.gov.uk.
The document must confirm:
- that you’ve completed a teaching qualification/teacher training
- that you’ve successfully completed any period of professional experience comparable to an induction period (if required)
- that your authorisation to teach has never been suspended, barred, cancelled, revoked or restricted, and that you have no sanctions against you
- the age ranges and subjects you’re qualified to teach
- that you’re qualified to teach at state or government schools.
This must be dated within 3 months of you applying for QTS.
If the document is not received within 90 days of the date that you submit your application, your application will be closed.
You should request your Letter of Professional Standing from the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) by emailing LoPs@trcn.gov.ng). You can only do this after you’ve applied for QTS.
TRCN will require you to pay them a fee of ₦60,000 and provide copies of your teaching documents. You’ll also need to provide your QTS application reference number as proof that you’ve applied.
