UK VET teachers (also known as lecturers within further education (FE) colleges for
employment purposes) are regarded as those working in schools and colleges, whereas trainers
are employed mainly in a work-based setting.
Prior to 1999, there were few, if any, requirements in the UK for trainers and VET teachers to
have formal training or hold qualifications to teach, unless they worked in the state-funded
sector. The aim now is that all those who perform a teaching or training role in the UK should
hold, or be working towards, a full teaching qualification. Teachers within the FE sector ‘need
two sets of skills – to be expert in their subject and to be trained to teach it’ (31).
Since the late 1990s, training of trainers for further education (including VET) has been a
priority within lifelong learning frameworks. In particular, the Further Education National
Training Organisation (FENTO, since 2005, absorbed into LLUK (32)) was established to
develop, quality assure and promote national standards for the training of trainers and teachers
in public FE colleges and private training sectors as of 2004. This extension of remit has to do
both with the ‘mobility of teachers who may move between or work across further education,
adult and community learning, work-based training …’, and mobility of learners across the
sector who ‘should be entitled to be taught by those who have been prepared and supported as
teachers to common criteria’ (FENTO, 2004) (33).
Within the diverse sector of non-government VET provision (private colleges and training
providers, in-house training, voluntary organisations, etc.) there is no formal requirement for
trainers to hold a recognised teaching qualification. IVET and CVET trainers are appointed on
the basis of their craft/academic/professional qualifications and experience. Only if a provider
receives public funding, is it expected that trainers will work towards obtaining a full teaching
award, following an in-service route.
Within the UK there is no formal system for in-service, continuing professional development
of VET teachers/trainers either working at school or college or work-based trainers.
Broadly, arrangements are similar for England, Wales and Northern Ireland; there are some
differences in Scotland.
