Your Qualifications, Your Say - Help shape qualifications for teaching and learning professionals!
Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK) is conducting a review of current teaching qualifications for the FE sector in England.
More than 300 individuals and organisations took part in the first phase of the review in October and November 2010. The second phase, which now takes forward the proposals that were supported in phase one, provides an opportunity to consider detailed proposals for updating qualifications, developing new qualifications and for a new qualification framework for teaching and learning professionals.
There are a number of ways to get involved. There will be an online survey, open from Monday 17 January to Friday 11 February. For those of you who would like the opportunity to meet with colleagues and discuss the proposals there are face-to-face events organised.
