Which AO EPP/ITT provider did you consult with?

I didn't personally contact them, but a coworker in the same situation contacted TES

Obtaining a teaching licence (pref. QTS) with an MEd

I have been reading through some of the other posts in this forum to find information on this subject, but seems to be a lot of different suggestions and none that really match my current situation.

I have an MEd degree in TESOL from the UK (my home country), and have been teaching primary level in an IS in Asia for the last 5 years. The school that I work at is a French school (with a bilingual pathway). They were fine employing me with my MEd, but I want to look into the possibility of getting QTS or another teaching licence for the future. I had previously applied for the AO route to QTS as another teacher in my school had done, but have been informed that they are no longer accepting a French school that follows the UK curriculum as experience.

I don't plan on going back to the UK or even leaving my current school, but I figured that it would be good to try to get a teaching qualification just in case.

From what I have read on here, my best options would be to apply for a MA teaching licence (with no chance of QTS) or a CT teaching licence (with some chance of QTS). Both their websites are a bit daunting so it would be great to hear from anyone who has experience of going through that process as a non-US citizen.
