The same year he became master in the local Guild of Saint Luke. He subsequently became a professor at the Academy. He was appointed director of the Academy in 1778 and held that position until the Academy was closed down by the French occupiers in October 1794.
He then opened his own drawing workshop which was very successful.
He received in 1790 a membership diploma of the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. De Quertenmont had numerous pupils, including Adriaan de Lelie and Frans Balthazar Solvyns.
