As members are probably aware, following the introduction of government reforms in 2007, learning providers that deliver further education provision through a contract or funding agreement with the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) are required to ensure that all their trainers, tutors and teachers:
- register as members of the Institute for Learning (IfL) by 30 September 2008
- undertake at least 30 hours’ continuing professional development (CPD) each year (prorated for part-time trainers)
- abide by IfL’s Code of Professional Practice.
The reforms apply to learning providers operating in work-based, adult and community, offender and voluntary sector settings.
IfL will be hosting events for HR and staff development managers and senior leaders to understand the impact of the new regulations on their organisations, and the opportunities for staff development:
London: 2 September 2008
Birmingham: 3 September 2008
Leeds: 4 September 2008
For more details on these briefings, and to download a booking form, please see the Ifl website. To register as a member of the Institute please go to the IfL registration page.
