Professional Update sign off guidelines

MyPL Users

You will complete your PU sign-off by logging in to MyGTCS and using MyPL.

Gateway CPD Manager

If your local authority uses Gateway CPD Manager, you will complete your PU sign-off using that system.

Employed by an organisation which is validated for Professional Update

If you work for an employer that GTC Scotland has validated for Professional Update, you will complete your Professional Learning record in their chosen system and complete your PU sign-off using MyPL.

Employed by an organisation which is not validated for Professional Update (e.g. a charity or an employer outside Scotland)

You will complete your PU sign-off by Direct Submission. Find out more about the Direct Submission process.

Supply Teachers

We recognise that some supply teachers can have difficulty accessing aspects of professional learning and the Professional Review and Development process.

Local authorities have systems in place to support supply teachers through PU sign-off.

Please check with your local authority in the first instance, to see what the arrangements are. If you work in more than one local authority, you can nominate one to be your employer.
