  • A relevant vocational qualification in the subject area
  • The ability to engage and motivate learners of differing abilities

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A recognised teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one
  • Previous experience of teaching or assessing in a further education setting

If you're ready to pass your experience on to learners starting out in the sector, we'd love to hear from you.
