What to Expect: Opportunity Calls with Education World

If you’re considering teaching in the UK, you probably have a lot of questions. How does the UK education system compare to your home country? What qualifications do you need? What is QTS, and why is everyone talking about it?

At Education World, we know that making an international move is a huge decision, and we are here to support you every step of the way. That’s why we hold Opportunity Calls; informative sessions designed to answer all your burning questions and help you take the first steps towards an exciting teaching career in the UK.  

So, what can you expect from an Education World Opportunity Call?  

Who We Are and How We Support You  

Education World is a trusted name in UK education recruitment. We’ve been successfully placing teachers in schools across the country for over 15 years and have a dedicated overseas team to guide you through the entire process.  

Our team includes former headteachers, senior leaders, and education specialists who understand the challenges and opportunities of teaching in the UK. We don’t just find you a job; we provide expert advice, training, and ongoing support to ensure you feel confident and prepared for your new role.  

During the call, we’ll introduce you to Education World and explain why so many teachers choose to partner with us when making the move to the UK.  

Understanding UK Teaching Qualifications and QTS  

A key question for many international teachers is Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). During the call, we break down what QTS is, why it’s important, and how you can obtain it.  

 

If you are already a qualified teacher, you do not need to retrain to teach in England, but you will need to:  

  • Apply for QTS (we guide you through this process).  
  • Pass criminal and safeguarding checks.  
  • Meet English language requirements.  
  • Secure the appropriate visa or work status.  
  • We also explain how schools view QTS and what it means for your career progression in the UK.  

How Education World Helps You Find the Right Role  

Our recruitment process is completely free for teachers, and we are committed to finding you a role that suits your skills, experience, and personal preferences.  

  

We offer:  

  • A dedicated consultant who will work with you from registration to placement.  
  • A 100% placement success rate, with all overseas teachers from 2022/23 still in their roles.  
  • Direct access to UK schools through our nationwide partnerships. 
  • Bespoke training and interview preparation with former school leaders.  
  • During the call, we’ll walk you through our step-by-step recruitment process, so you know exactly what to expect.
