03011: Teacher training course identifier

Field Information

Number: 053
Name: Teacher training course identifier
Abbreviation: TTCID
Length: 1
Status: Compulsory.
Description: The Teacher training course identifier is a one digit field completed for students on courses that lead to teacher qualifications. The selection will determine the type of the teacher training.
Notes: Code 1 includes PGCE, BEd, first degree with Qualified Teacher Status and courses leading concurrently to a degree and to a diploma in Education.

Code 2 includes courses leading to Further Education Teacher Qualification and to Nursing and Midwifery Teacher Qualification.

Codes 3 and 4 can be used only by institutions in England and Northern Ireland.

Code 5 can be used only by institutions in Scotland and Wales.

TTA advise that Code 3 covers all students with QTS, i.e. both serving and non-serving school teachers. Code 4 covers any other student.
Therefore for example students on INSET for nursery nurses/FE teachers/other groups should be coded 3 where the student holds QTS, and should be coded 4 where the student does not hold QTS.

TTA and HEFCE have given a working definition of an INSET course as :
"An INSET/In-service course is one for which the primary (but not necessarily the only) purpose is to improve the effectiveness of teachers, lecturers or trainers. In considering whether this is the purpose of particular course, institutions may wish to consider the content of the course and course literature, including prospectuses and any other marketing material".

TTA advise that employment status in codes 6 and 7 does not have to be teaching related.

Code 7 should be used for those students on TTA funded flexible provision (ITT) where it is not know whether they are concurrently employed or not.
Reason Required: To identify teacher training students.

To identify, and distinguish between, initial teacher training students (of various types) and in-service students.

To enable the TTA to differentiate between qualified school teachers and others undertaking in-service/INSET courses for teachers.

To enable the TTA to differentiate between employed and non-employed students on TTA funded flexible provision.
