QTS for Training Programme
QTS stands for Qualified Teacher Status . It is a status given to trainees after they complete year 1 on their training programme. The QTS field can be seen under Trainee's Programme Enrolment. The QTS applies to cohort 2021 and all cohorts later than 2021.
For 2021 Cohort
- All the Trainees which on Training Programme 2021 , have QTS status = Pass or Fail , then their account will be automatically be deactivated on Steplab
- All the Trainees on Training Programme 2021 , have QTS status = Deferred Assessment or Awaiting Outcome , then their account will be retained on Steplab.

- All Mentors on Training Programme 2021 , have QTS status = Pass or Fail , then their account will be automatically be deactivated on Steplab only if they are mentoring trainees in 2021 cohort , if they are also mentoring any trainee from 2022 cohort then their account will remain.

Please Note
- accounts getting deactivated on Steplab wont mean they have withdrawn from the programme or are inactive users , it means that as per their QTS result they will continue in their Year 2 but will not be using Steplab in year 2 of their programme.
For 2022 Cohort and Onwards (i.e. 2023 , 2024)
The QTS status will no longer effect the access to steplab. The QTS field on Salesforce will indicate the result but the access for trainees , associated Tutors and mentors will remain and not be removed.
