Trainers and Assessors wanted.

a friend of mine who had only been in the industry a couple of years landed a job in a college. He didnt have any technical evaluations or anything. All he had to do was follow the NPTC assessment schedule.

He won’t be Instructing LANTRA courses or Assessing for City and Guilds though. This is the problem with College based training, they are internally audited and appraised with no external regulator involved, they could be good, or pretty crap.

It's classed as post 16+ adult education, so you don't need teacher training, still requires DBS checks.

 

The old rule was be atleast one level above the course you're teaching, so A level required a minimum of a degree.

 

That being said when you're in that working environment you are actively encouraged to advance your education onto a degree, masters etc.

 

Professional development as they call it, plus they'll no doubt help with funding & free time as it looks good for them aswell.
