The Teaching Council

Welcome

Welcome to the website of the Teaching Council of Ireland.

The Teaching Council is the professional body for teaching in Ireland. It was established on a statutory basis in March 2006 to promote teaching as a profession at Primary and Post-Primary levels; to promote the professional development of teachers; and to regulate standards in our profession.
