Staff - suitable qualification checks

[KIKPOP99]

Hi

 

We previously used to use the CWDC qualification checker to ascertain if a qualification was acceptable. I believe that CWDC no longer exists. Can anybody please tell me how I now go about to check if a staff qualification is acceptable?

 

Separately (but related) I have a staff that did a qualification in Spain. She has now produced a NARIC letter confirming that the qualification is equivalent to level 5. Do I just accept this or are there further checks I can carry out.

 

Thanks

The Teaching Agency have taken over the role of the CWDC. They should also be able to answer about the foreign

qualification, as CWDC helped us with one from Holland n the past.

The qualifications checker is on the DfE website. You can see it here.
