Academics is the UK's premier education recruitment consultancy specialising in the provision of quality teachers and learning support assistants for long-term and permanent teaching assignments in primary, secondary and special needs schools.

Our exclusive focus on teachers seeking long-term assignments enables us to deliver a targeted, high-quality service both to our teachers and to our extensive network of client schools which ranges from inner city comprehensives to independent and international schools.

Academics is the only teaching consultancy in the UK that will fully support and provide your UK Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) training. This is led by our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) team of highly qualified senior education consultants who advise and support your educational needs during your teaching career in the UK.

Our CPD team has a proven record of enabling Overseas Trained Teachers (OTTs) to gain Qualified Teaching Status (QTS). The big advantage in working for Academics is that, to date, the CPD team has enabled over 50 OTTs to gain QTS during the last 3 years. Our success in this field has now been recognised by the Teacher Development Agency (TDA) as no other teacher recruitment agency provides this level of support.
