In order to register for the QTS skills tests you will need a registration number. This is issued to you by your initial teacher training (ITT) provider (university, college, School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) or EBITT).

If you have lost your registration number please email skillstests@pearson.com with your name, date of birth, training provider, and email address so that this can be issued to you. You should receive a reply to your email within 2 working days (excluding Saturday and Sunday).

When you have your registration number, enter it accurately on the registration page together with the other details requested. Please complete the registration details carefully (using upper and lower case i.e. Robert Smith), particularly for your name, address, email address and details of your training provider, to ensure that we can contact you to give you your username and password or resolve any enquiries you may have.

If you previously required special arrangements in a test or public examination you will be able to request the same special arrangements for the QTS skills tests. When registering for the tests, you need to state whether or not you require any special arrangements when prompted. You should also inform your training provider of your particular need at the beginning of the academic year. This will help to ensure that you receive the correct provisions.

Once you have registered and received a username and password, you will be able to book tests at a test centre of your choice (see Booking Tests). You are able to start booking tests as soon as you feel confident enough to do so.

If you have already completed your teacher training course please use the registration number previously provided to you by your training provider.

You should receive your username and password within 2 working days of your registration (excluding Saturday and Sunday). You can book the skills tests as soon as you have received your username and password.

To book a test:

• enter your username and password carefully and accurately (see IMPORTANT below). The username and password fields are case sensitive. All letters are lower case;
  
  
• select the relevant test from the test menu (if you have indicated on your registration that you need special arrangements, you need to choose the version of the test applicable to you; otherwise please select the standard version of the test);
  
  
• choose your most convenient testing centre; and
  
  
• and finally select a date and appointment time.

To complete the booking, press the 'CONTINUE' button once only. Please be patient. Confirmation may take up to a minute. When you see the confirmation page you will know your booking has been confirmed.

You can view a record of your booking by selecting the "View my tests" option. We recommend that you print this out as a record of confirmation and take it with you to the test centre when you sit your test. In addition, you will automatically receive an email confirmation of your test appointment within 24 hours of booking the test.
