Who should I nominate as referees on my application form?
Referees should have known you personally for a significant period and at least one of your referees should know you in a professional capacity. Referees will probably be contacted by The College so full contact details should be given on your application form. The names of relatives should not be given as referees.
What membership benefits do I get as an Associate Member?
Associate members receive all the regular College publications including Education Today and the Newsletter, have this log in facility on the website and are included on the distribution list for the majority of the College's communications. However Associate Members do not have voting rights for College Council and are not eligble for membership of Council.
Do I have to hold QTS and teach in a school to become a member?
Not at all. The College of Teachers was created 1849 in order to recognise the professional standing of all those involved in training others. Full Membership is open to anyone in any country who holds a formal teaching or training post.
