Register with Institute for Learning (IfL) by 31 March 2008

New regulations require all FE college teachers, trainers and tutors to register as members of the Institute for Learning (IfL) by 31 March 2008, to demonstrate that they maintain their teaching professionalism. Teachers at all other LSC-funded providers across the learning and skills sector will need to register by 30 September 2008. The regulations, which came into force on 1 September 2007 and form part of the Government's wider FE workforce reforms, also require teachers to undertake at least 30 hours' continuing professional development (CPD) each year and abide by a code of professional practice. Membership of IfL offers teachers the opportunity to exercise their voice, develop a professional identity and gain support for their professional development. The government will meet the full cost of online registration for teachers in LSC-funded institutions, who will not be asked to pay when registering.
