The GPRLS scheme is one route to professional standing which does not require you to undertake a formal teaching qualification and presently funded by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. The application process is designed to enable competent and experienced teachers, tutors and trainers to achieve professional standing and be in a position to complete the process of professional formation (via the Institute for Learning) and gain licensed status (Q/ATLS).
Please note: Applicants for Professional Recognition will need the support of two referees with relevant experience.
Once submitted your application is scrutinised by adjudicators with relevant and appropriate experience drawn from across the sector. All applicants are notified of the outcome of their submission within 12 weeks of Standards Verification UK receiving a completed application. Recent case studies have cited the following benefits of completing and achieving GPRLS:
"The process has clearly identified my strengths and weaknesses in teaching practice"
"The completion of GPRLS has given me the confidence to try new methods and adapt them as required to fit into the methods I use to engage all the learners I teach"
"GPRLS has given me the incentive to continue to professional formation and beyond, improving all the time"
