Accrediting provider reminder

We’ve received feedback from a number of providers to say they would like to be notified when a training provider adds you as their accrediting provider. As of Monday 15 February, you will have started receiving an email alert to inform you when this happens, including for which course and campus, if applicable.

Posted Mon 7 March 2016

This alert will be sent to the person who is your named UCAS Teacher Training Correspondent in web-link. If you do not have a named UCAS Teacher Training Correspondent in web-link, you will not receive the alert. If this is the case, please ensure you add one into the system as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, please email the HEP Team at hep_team@ucas.ac.uk or call them on 01242 545 734.

Here are the most recent top three FAQs for UCAS Teacher Training.

Q1. How do I update my vacancies for my UTT programmes on web-link?

  • click on Access institution data and sign in

  • from the 'Vacancies' drop-down menu select the correct vacancy status: full-time vacancies, part-time vacancies, both full- and part-time vacancies, or no vacancies.

Q2. How do I change the publish status on my UCAS Teacher Training programmes?
If you are a lead school, you will not be able to set your UCAS Teacher Training programmes to published; UCAS will do this for you within three working days of receipt of the programme details.
