Teacher Induction Scheme

The Teacher Induction Scheme (TIS) provides a guaranteed one-year training post to every eligible student graduating with a teaching qualification from one of Scotland's universities.

GTC Scotland, in partnership with the Scottish Government Education Department, is responsible for the administration of the scheme.

The scheme is not compulsory; you can choose to follow the Flexible Route instead. The Teacher Induction Scheme allows probationer teachers to be considered for full registration within one school year (190 teaching days). It offers a number of benefits, including:

  • a maximum class contact time of 0.8 full time equivalent (GTC Scotland endorsed)
  • dedicated time set aside for CPD
  • access to an experienced teacher for support throughout the induction year
