Forms        

Download inspection preparation forms here. For all inspections you will need People to be seen and Teacher CV forms. If you have teachers with non-standard qualifications you may also need a qualifications evaluation form or rationale templates for teachers without a first degree, teachers without appropriate ELT/TESOL qualifications, or academic managers.   

Qualifications    

For guidance on the status and levels of different ELT qualifications, use our guide on Assessing Qualifications. For detail on how we inspect teaching, look at our Guidelines on assessing "Teaching and learning".
