Teacher Registration (QLD – QCT)
CodesAPI credentialType TEACHER_QLDSpreadsheet import teacher with State QLDAll credential codes
Teachers in Queensland must be registered with the QCT — the Queensland College of Teachers. Oho confirms a QCT registration against the official register.
Who needs it
Anyone teaching in a Queensland school or setting that requires QCT registration. A person may hold teacher registrations in more than one state at the same time, and Oho tracks each state's registration separately — so a teacher moving interstate needs the new state's registration recorded, not the old one edited.
What Oho needs
The QCT registration number, plus the teacher's first name and surname. A middle name and date of birth are optional and can help disambiguate a common name.
1234567 — digits only. Spaces are ignored.
Before you start
Nothing. The QCT register is public, so there's no login or API key to provide, and there's no employer linkage recorded against a teacher registration.
How Oho verifies it
Oho queries the QCT register and returns a result in under 10 seconds. Once verified, Oho re-checks it on the schedule you set in the Verification Sources tab.
Reading the result
Every check resolves to one of these outcomes:
| Status (as shown in the app) | Colour | What it means | API value (eligibility) |
|---|---|---|---|
| May engage | Green | Valid and current — the person is cleared for the work. | MAY_ENGAGE |
| May not engage | Red | Not valid — expired, suspended, not found, or a match on a ban register. | MAY_NOT_ENGAGE |
| Under review | Yellow | No decision yet — someone has to read the result and record one. Not a softer kind of pass: the worker counts as non-compliant until they do. | REVIEW_REQUIRED |
| In progress | Blue | Still being checked. | IN_PROGRESS |
| Couldn't verify | Grey | The source couldn't be reached; Oho will try again. | ERROR |
Validity and expiry are tracked separately from that verdict, and the badge always shows the most serious state on record — so these appear instead of one of the five above:
| Status (as shown in the app) | Colour | What it means | API value (statusDetail) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expiring soon | Yellow | Still valid, but inside your expiry lead time — 30 days by default. Time to get the renewal moving. | EXPIRING_SOON |
| Expired | Red | The expiry date has passed, so the worker is no longer covered. | EXPIRED |
| Conditions to review | Yellow | The register attached a condition or a notation that someone has to read and decide on. | CONDITIONS_TO_REVIEW |
| Pending decision | Blue | The issuing authority has yet to decide on an application. | PENDING_DECISION |
A problem the register reports outright — the clearance revoked, no matching record, a newer card superseding this one — shows under its own name in red or grey, alongside the same statusDetail value. Every one of them is listed in what a check result means.
When it doesn't verify
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| May not engage — no matching record | The number or the teacher's name doesn't match the register | Check the number is digits only, then check the name as the register holds it |
| May not engage after a name change | The register may still hold the previous surname | Update the worker's name to match the register and re-run |
| May not engage — not current | Registration lapsed, cancelled or suspended | Not a data problem. The teacher needs to resolve it with QCT |
| Under review | The register returned a condition, or details that don't line up cleanly | Open the check and read it before relying on the registration |
| A teacher registered interstate reads red | The wrong state's register is being checked | Record the registration against the state that issued it |
| Couldn't verify | The register was unreachable | Nothing. Oho retries on the next run |
Renewals & monitoring
Renewals flow through automatically — the registration number doesn't change on renewal, so nothing needs re-entering.
The register returns the registration's expiry date with each check, and Oho flags one falling due within 90 days — a wider warning than the usual 30, because a teacher registration renewal is not a same-week job.
Between renewals, the scheduled re-check is what catches a registration that lapses, is suspended or is cancelled mid-term — the register's own status changes, and Oho picks it up.
Because there's no employer linkage, nothing pushes a change to you: monitoring here is Oho's scheduled re-checks alone. The register is public and fast, so a daily cadence is comfortable.
