HELPING TEACHERS ACHIEVE QUALIFIED TEACHER STATUS THROUGH THE LEVEL 5 DIPLOMA IN TEACHING
At Teacher Training UK, we specialise in delivering the Level 5 Diploma in Teaching (DiT), one of the most recognised teaching qualifications within the Further Education and Skills sector.
Our mission is to help aspiring and practising educators gain a nationally recognised teaching qualification, develop their professional confidence, and progress towards Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) status.
Whether you are currently working as an unqualified teacher, trainer, assessor, instructor, lecturer, or learning support practitioner, our programme is designed to provide the knowledge, practical skills, and professional support needed to succeed in teaching.
Unlike many teacher training providers, we combine flexible online learning with live weekly teaching sessions, personalised tutor support, developmental feedback, and practical teaching experience to help learners successfully complete their qualification and progress within their careers.
WHY CHOOSE TEACHER TRAINING UK FOR THE LEVEL 5 DIPLOMA IN TEACHING?
We understand that there are many providers offering teacher training qualifications.
However, not all programmes provide the same level of support.
Many courses rely heavily on self-paced study, where learners are expected to work through materials independently with limited interaction and support. Whilst this approach works for some, many aspiring teachers benefit from regular contact with experienced tutors, opportunities for discussion, and personalised guidance throughout their training.
At Teacher Training UK, we believe that teacher education should be interactive, supportive, and professionally relevant.
OUR LEARNERS BENEFIT FROM:
-
Weekly live online teaching sessions
-
Dedicated tutor support throughout the programme
-
Practical teaching observations and developmental feedback
-
Structured guidance on assignments and teaching practice
-
A supportive community of fellow trainee teachers

-
A recognised pathway towards QTLS status
-
Flexible study that fits around work and family commitments

SUPPORTING YOUR JOURNEY TOWARDS QTLS
For many learners, the Level 5 Diploma in Teaching is more than a qualification. It is a stepping stone towards professional recognition through Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) status.
QTLS is recognised across the education sector and provides an opportunity for teachers in the Further Education and Skills sector to demonstrate their professional competence and commitment to ongoing development.
Throughout the programme, we help learners understand the QTLS process, develop the professional skills required, and prepare for the next stage of their teaching career.
Our goal is not simply to help you gain a qualification. Our goal is to help you become the best teacher you can be.
