Eligibility

By registering and purchasing this Chartered Status pathway, you will confirm that you meet the following eligibility criteria;

• Be a practising classroom teacher or middle leader with mentoring responsibility, and working with pupils up to 19 years of age in a relevant setting, either in a school in the UK or an accredited British International School.
• Be eligible for and hold current full Membership (MCCT) or Fellowship (FCCT) of the Chartered College of Teaching, both whilst you are working towards Chartered Status and to retain your Chartered Status in future (see our Membership Handbook for further details).
• At the point of final application and award, you will need to have a minimum of 3 years experience as a practising classroom teacher.

If you are a school leader (e.g a HT, DHT, AHT or similar) you may prefer to follow the Chartered Teacher (Leadership) pathway instead.

What does the pathway include

This bundle includes all relevant Chartered Teacher (Mentor) pathway units that you need to complete to attain Chartered Status. This includes:

• CS0M Introductory course: Chartered Teacher (Mentor) Status

Chartered Teacher (Mentor) Status is a professional learning and accreditation pathway for school-based mentors that supports career-long development, relevant to all phases, settings and subject areas. Chartered Teachers are recognised for evidence-informed, high-quality teaching practice, benefiting their school and the children and young people they teach.

The role of the mentor may vary depending on its context. Typically mentors will be employed as a classroom teacher or leader, and will have been allocated a specific mentoring responsibility. This might include mentoring as part of initial teacher training, the Early Career Framework, or mentoring to support continued professional growth. It does not necessarily include individuals undertaking broader activities associated with induction or mentoring, for example, those with line manager or induction co-ordinator or link tutor roles.

To work towards Chartered Teacher Status, you must first hold MCCT or FCCT membership of the Chartered College of Teaching. Through enroling on this course, you will get access to detailed guidance and content to guide you through your Chartered journey through our online platform MyPD.

Please ensure that you check the eligibility requirements on our website before purchasing. You should not purchase this bundle on behalf of another person through your own membership account.

N.B Please note, you will only be able to submit your application for Chartered Teacher (Mentor) Status once you have successfully passed the  main assessment units.

Prerequisites

To purchase this pathway you must be eligible to register as a candidate for Chartered Teacher  (Mentor) Status (see above).

If you have recently completed another qualification, we may be able to use this as credits towards Chartered Status. Before you purchase this pathway, check to see if you are eligible for Recognition of Prior Certified Learning.
