Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about online study, eligibility, assessment, certification, career support and how London College of Teachers programmes should be used.
Start with the exact course level, eligibility, curriculum, assessment, certification and intended professional use. If you plan to work in a regulated teaching role or another country, also check the requirements of the relevant employer, education authority and immigration system.
After enrolment, eligible learners receive access to the online learning environment and course materials. Study is flexible within the stated course duration. The exact learning activities, assessment method and tutor-support arrangements are described on the relevant programme page.
Many LCT professional-development programmes are suitable for aspiring educators as well as practising teachers. Entry requirements vary by programme and level, so check the eligibility section on the course page before applying.
London College of Teachers Limited is a UK-registered company and uses UKPRN 10096558. A company registration or UKPRN does not mean that every LCT course is a government-regulated teaching qualification. Recognition depends on the specific programme and its intended use. If you need a qualification for teacher licensing, public-sector recruitment, immigration or further study, check the requirements of the relevant authority or institution before enrolling.
LCT programmes can support professional learning and may strengthen applications for roles that match the subject and level studied. They do not automatically create a legal right to teach in another country. Employers, regulators and immigration authorities may require degrees, teacher licences, experience, document attestation or other credentials.
LCT can provide career and job-search guidance to eligible learners, including support with understanding opportunities and preparing for applications. Placement assistance is not a guarantee of employment. Hiring decisions remain with employers and can depend on qualifications, experience, location, visa eligibility and vacancy availability.
Eligibility depends on the course and level. Some entry-level professional programmes may accept applicants with secondary-school completion, while advanced or postgraduate-level programmes can require a bachelor’s degree or other prior study. Always use the eligibility information on the specific programme page.
Assessment varies by programme. Many LCT courses use continuous assessment through module activities, assignments, projects or other learning checks rather than relying on one final examination. The exact method is stated on the programme page.
Where a programme permits direct postgraduate-diploma entry, applicants normally need to meet the stated degree or prior-study requirement. Admission is subject to the eligibility rules for that programme.
Each programme has its own expected duration. Flexible online study lets learners organise their study within the permitted enrolment period, but extensions may be subject to the course terms in force at the time.
Where teaching practice is offered or required, the arrangement depends on the programme. Learners may be able to complete approved practice in a suitable local setting, including an existing workplace where permitted. Admissions can confirm whether practice is optional, required or unavailable for the course you are considering.
Use the official institutional-verification and certificate-verification information published by London College of Teachers. You can also independently check public registrations and the specific academic or professional relationship described for your programme.
Selected Diploma and PG Diploma programmes are presented by LCT as being offered in academic partnership with Paris University of International Education. Where a programme page specifically states it, the certification arrangement includes a University Certificate Issued Jointly. This should not be assumed for programmes that do not state the arrangement.
