Hear Cerian Ayres, National Head of Technical Education & Training Foundation (ETF) explain the UK approach to teaching in TVET, the role of the ETF and the strengths of the UK Skills System with regards to TVET teaching.
Those who deliver TVET training are described as ‘dual professionals’ with both up to date technical knowledge and the ability to apply effective pedagogical theory.
TVET sector trainers are expected to hold substantial qualifications and/or experience in their particular area and have or be willing to gain a teaching qualification.
TVET providers look to recruit industry experts, whilst keeping their current trainers’ skills up to date, this means that the continuous professional development (CPD) of instructors is extremely important.
