Qualified to teach or train in the third sector?
If this is you: I am a qualified teacher/trainer/tutor I work for a third sector organisation (voluntary, community or charity) in England funded by the Learning and Skills Council (directly or by subcontract to another LSC funded provider). I achieved my initial teacher/trainer/tutor (ITT) qualification before September 2007
then the Tariff of Qualifications (ITT) is for you. The Tariff can show you how your qualification maps to the three new qualifications: PTLLS/CTLLS/DTLLS introduced by recent reforms in further education. The Tariff can help you start at the appropriate point as you plan your continuing development to meet your professional needs and contractual obligations.

Working towards professional status? Standards Verification UK can help you here too! The recent reforms to the further education/learning and skills sector have brought in changes to enable all teachers/trainers/tutors delivering learning in the further education sector to achieve professional status by gaining a licence to practise in recognition of their professionalism.
