Thank you, thank you.

I have FINALLY completed my QTS. It was a long, difficult process, but it's finally over.

I learned a few important things along the way. So some words of wisdom for those who are going to do QTS as an OTT:

1. ASK for what documents they require right at the start. ALL of the required documents. And get them right away.
2. Book in to take the QTS skills test as soon as possible. Don't wait until you are completing the portfolio and doing all of you portolfio r other work - get it done early early early.
3. Get yourself a mentor. An actual mentor that is well seasoned in the school. And make sure you are working on the portfolio each week WITH that mentor.

Can you tell I've had a bit of a difficult experience. But it's ok. Because it's over. And now - we wait for the official documents, just so I know it's not a mistake.
