What is the GTTR?
The Graduate Teacher Training Registry (GTTR) is an admissions service that processes over 50,000 applications each year for full-time and part-time postgraduate teacher training courses at:
most universities, colleges of higher education and school-centred initial teacher training (SCITT) consortia in England
most universities and colleges of higher education in Wales
almost all higher education institutions (HEIs) in Scotland.
The courses in the GTTR scheme provide training for teaching in primary schools, secondary schools and further education colleges. Each year more than 25,000 students enter postgraduate teacher training through the GTTR.
The GTTR does not process applications for teacher training courses at any universities or colleges in Northern Ireland.
We offer several online services on our website to make the whole application process run smoothly. Applicants use Course Search to find out about the courses in the GTTR scheme. They then make their applications online using our Apply system. After they have applied they can follow the progress of their applications by using the Track service.
The GTTR is operated by UCAS. UCAS provides application services across a range of subject areas and modes of study for UK universities and colleges. More than half a million people wanting to study at a university or college use their services each year. The specialist services, the Graduate Teacher Training Registry (GTTR), the UK Postgraduate Application and Statistical Service (UKPASS) and the Conservatoires UK Admissions Service (CUKAS) are used by more than 50,000 people every year.
UCAS aims to help students make informed choices about higher education, guiding them, their parents and advisers through the application process.
UCAS carries out research, consultancy and advisory work for schools, colleges, careers services, professional bodies and employers. They also offer continuing professional development tailored to meet the needs of individual institutions or subject areas. This ensures a long-term commitment to improving admissions processes across the industry.
