ITTE Where are we now? • By 2010, every teacher will be qualified or working towards an SVUK endorsed qualification • All staff employed as teachers in the FE sector must be professionally registered and all new staff must also be licensed to practise by the Institute for Learning (IfL) – includes staff delivering learning for LSC contracts • To be licensed, all teachers must be trained to a standard that allows them to achieve either Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) status or Associate Teacher Learning and Skills (ATLS) status, depending on their role - getting there but continuing need for promotion of above and advice

3. New: General Professional Recognition Learning and Skills (England) • Often referred to as GPRLS – for successful applicants provides recognition against the 2007 qualification regulations • A process for experienced and competent teachers, tutors and trainers in the FE Sector who do not hold an acceptable teaching qualification but can demonstrate they meet the new professional standards: - GPRLS Skills for Life - GPRLS All areas of Learning - GPRLS B4 See www.standardsverificationuk.org for more details
