The Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP) is a programme in England and Wales for graduates who want to gain Qualified Teacher Status while working. A person must work in a school as an unqualified teacher in order to participate in the programme, which can last from three months to a year.

This means that the school must be willing to employ an unqualified teacher, with a minimum wage of £14,040. The Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) can pay the school up to £13,000 to cover employment costs, though it is not guaranteed.
