And in fact the probationary year ceased to be compulsory for a period, and was then reintroduced as the "induction period" (sounds somewhat less criminal...)

"After having being awarded QTS teachers must normally still pass an induction period (previously called 'probation') – normally their first year of teaching. Those who fail the induction still retain their QTS, but cannot teach in state-run schools. The induction period normally lasts a year (three school terms). Such teachers are often known as a Newly Qualified Teacher or NQT." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualified_Teacher_Status

The training in the UK is indeed longer than in Spain, and there is nothing here to indicate whether this is for primary or secondary teaching. Another complication is that after achieving this qualification, teachers must work a "probationary year" in order to get their teacher's number - off the top of my head I am not sure whether this status is describing before or after that year...
