A valid email address should be returned. This must be a current personal email address and not a university email address.

The DfE will use this email address to communicate with Newly-Qualified Teachers to ask them to log in to the DfE Teacher Services Portal. This will enable Newly-Qualified Teachers to access their QTS certificate online, reducing burden on HE providers.

The Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) will retain email address data until a newly qualified teacher (NQT) completes their statutory induction year.
