FAQ

  • What is the Further Education and Skills Sector?

    It is the term used for people who are aged 14 and above taking a purposeful learning activity with the aim of improving or furthering their skills and knowledge.

  • Do I need to be qualified in the subject I want to teach?

    It will depend upon what your subject is and whether your learners will be taking a qualification or just learning for pleasure. Some subjects do require you to be qualified whereas others require you to be knowledgeable and/or experienced. You can search online for the qualification specification of the subject you would like to teach. These will be available via a relevant awarding organisation's website and will state what qualifications and/or experience you must have.

  • What will I have to do to pass the qualifications?

    You will need to evidence all the assessment criteria contained in the various units of the qualifications you are taking. This is usually by a combination of assignments, essays, teaching practice and written statements. You will be observed teaching your session to your own learners by submitting video footage. You will deliver a short session to your peers, known as a micro-teach session, as part of the Award.

  • What skills do I need as a teacher?

    Besides having the skills and knowledge regarding the subject you will teach, you need to be passionate about your subject and be able to communicate this to others. This will help towards your enthusiasm to teach and your students’ motivation to learn. You also need to have patience, and have organisational and time management skills.

  • If I qualify to teach and gain my QTLS status, can I then change my mind and teach in a school, an academy or a free school?

    Yes, teachers who hold QTLS status are now accepted to teach in schools. Currently, it is not a requirement to be qualified to teach in an academy or a free school, however, the schools can request this. QTLS is now accepted as being equivalent to QTS status. However, it's up to each school to decide what qualifications and experience their staff must have.

  • Where can I teach?

    Teaching and training can take place anywhere that someone needs to learn something. It doesn’t just have to be in a school, college or a university. For example, you might like to give up your current career and teach full time in a sixth form college, teach part time in a prison, train people on the job where you are currently employed, work via an agency at different organisations or volunteer your services for free at a charity.
