The MTeach has a 12 module structure with 4 core modules, 4 option modules and 4 modules of extended work-based learning (taken as a single 4 module project or 2, 2 module projects).
All participants in the Programme must begin by taking:
* Module 1 - Self Evaluation (Professional Development and Review)
After this, teachers may choose to take the other core modules:
* Module 2 - Learning and Teaching
* Module 3 - Education for All
* Module 4 - Working Together
Satisfactory completion of these four modules entitles the participant to exit, if s/he so wishes, with a Postgraduate Certificate.
Four option modules may be taken from a range which will be developed over time; reflecting the needs of teachers, new initiatives and the expertise of providers. Satisfactory completion of four option modules and the four core modules entitles the teacher to exit with a Postgraduate Diploma.
The final piece of work in the Programme must be an extended work-based learning project. In total, participants must complete projects equivalent to four modules in order to complete the Programme. In the final assessment for the Programme, reporting on the outcomes of the final project(s) is combined with the provision of evidence to show the CTS has been achieved.
Satisfactory completion of this assessment leads to the award of Master of Teaching (MTeach) and a recommendation to the General Teaching Council for the award of Chartered Teacher status.
After the completion of Module 1, teachers may apply for accreditation for prior learning up to a maximum of six modules within the Master of Teaching Programme.
