What is a Statement of Comparability?

The Statement of Comparability compares overseas qualifications to the UK education system, comparing them to UK qualifications and framework levels

If you have trained as a teacher internationally and do not hold UK QTS, you will need to provide a Statement of Comparability as well as your original teaching certificates to complete your registration with Step Teachers.

A Statement of Comparability can be obtained from UK ENIC. Details of the cost and processing times can be found at: https://www.enic.org.uk/qualifications/soc

As of February 2025, the cost is £49.50 + delivery and can take 15 working days to process. A fast-track option is available but is unnecessary for registering with Step Teachers.
