Please give details of your teaching qualification

The JCQ require access arrangement assessors to ‘either hold an appropriate qualification to teach and make recommendations for secondary aged or adult learners who have learning difficulties, or be a HCPC registered psychologist’. Applicants should therefore have a teaching qualification, usually at Level 5 or above. This would include QTS, QTLS, DTLLS, PGCE, HLTA, or a Level 5 diploma in teaching learners with Dyslexia/SpLD. We consider eligibility on a case by case basis, so please email admin@include-ed.org.uk if you are unsure whether you would qualify. Please upload copies of relevant certificates below.

Please give details of other educational and professional qualifications

As the PAPAA is equivalent to Level 7, we expect applicants to have a suitable Level 6 qualification – this is usually an undergraduate degree, e.g. BSc/BEd/BA. Applicants who do not have a degree level qualification may be considered on a case by case basis, based on their previous experience. Please upload copies of certificates using the upload button below.
