Post-nominals of The College of Teachers
If you have achieved a qualification from The College of Teachers which is the Associateship level or above, you are entitled to wear the academic dress for the award you have achieved.
There are two types of post-nominals:
1. For Members of The College of Teachers. The different types of Individual Membership are based on your level of professional experience and your education and teaching qualifications.
Membership | Post-nominal |
| Individuals who hold high academic qualifications or have made a significant contribution to educational literature or to educational management at a senior level. | FCollT |
| Individuals who are qualified teachers either in the UK or elsewhere. | MCollT |
| Individuals who are involved in education but are not qualified teachers, for example, school bursars or classroom assistants. | AMCollT |
2. Post-nominals for those who have achieved a qualification from The College of Teachers.
Qualification | Post-nominal |

ADOES | |
For instance, if you are a full Member and you have achieved the Associateship qualification, then you would list your qualification and then Membership post-nominals respectively, e.g. ACOT MCollT.
Past students who have achieved qualifications under the name The College of Preceptors retain the post-nominals they achieved and these do not change to the new format.
