Finishing NQT - what happens?

[Rosabud]

This is going to sound like a silly question - but no-one at my school will really explain what is going on (this is normal for my school - lovely but disorganised!)

At the end of the Autumn term I completed my NQT (I had completed 2 terms a couple of years ago and just had the final term to do). My mentor was satisfied that I had passed everything and the Assistant Head responsible for NQT stuff sent me an email just before Christmas saying congratulations everything had been "submitted". There was some vague talk about the possibility of TESLA coming to seem my evidence folder (which my mentor says is excellent) as my NQT period was completed over a couple of years - but the general consensus seems to be that this will be a formality and I have "passed".

Can anyone tell me how long it is likely to be before I hear that TESLA staff will be coming in to do checks or confirmation from TESLA that I have officially passed? And will I get an email or a certificate or something like that?

Everyone at work is a bit vague and I don't like to keep asking!

You will get a certificate. I too finished my nqt at Christmas (but several years ago). It does take awhile for the certificate to come. Can't remember how long, but definitely before Easter.

Be aware that the school would be in their rights to slap some extra lessons onto your timetable - you should have been on 90% of a main scale teacher's tt during induction.
