The Scottish Qualification for Headship Programme (SQH) is perfect if you're interested in becoming a Head Teacher. It gives you the professional development you need before applying for these posts.

Your employer will meet the costs of the course.

You can apply to start the programme if you have at least five years' teaching experience (you'll also need to be fully registered with the GTCS).

It should take you two to three years to complete the programme and at the end you'll be presented with a Scottish Qualification for Headship award from your university.
