GTC Registration

In accordance with the Education (NI) Order 1998 persons employed as teachers in grant-aided schools and peripatetic teachers are required to register with the General Teaching Council for Northern Ireland (GTCNI).

The GTCNI is a self-regulatory professional body for teachers which has a statutory duty to determine who should be a member of the teaching profession in Northern Ireland.
