I trained as a teacher abroad. What will I be paid?

If you trained in the European Economic Area (EEA) and have a mutually recognised qualification, you will be paid on the qualified teachers’ pay scale.

Non-EEA trained teachers are paid on the unqualified teachers’ pay scale. This extends over six points, which currently range from £15,817 per year (£19,893 in inner London) to £25,016 per year (£29,088 in inner London). You may be paid on the qualified teachers’ scale if you are training through an employment-based route.
