Sharron Mansell & Ann Gravells 
Achieving QTLS status [EPUB ebook] 
A guide to demonstrating the Professional Standards

This book is appropriate for anyone who wishes to maintain their practice in accordance with the Professional Standards for Teachers and Trainers in Education and Training. However, the process of gaining QTLS was redesigned in 2020 after this book was published. The content will still prove helpful to anyone working towards QTLS status, however, some of the screenshots in the book now differ to those in the QTLS online workbook. The book is written in an accessible language and includes information regarding the minimum core, and observed teaching practice. The content will help practitioners to have a positive impact upon their job role, their learners, their organisation and their career.

Ann has written books in the past which reflect these titles and has updated them when they have changed. However, the content of the qualifications and the job roles which teachers, assessors and quality assurers carry out remain very much the same.Ann has now written three generic books aimed at covering all the teaching, assessment and quality assurance qualifications as well as the relevant job roles.
