Excellence as a goal can only be a good thing, even if it is not achieved by all. Competitions are a great way of engaging learners (they enjoy being a part of wider activities) and some competition (with a small c) will go to enhance results. The...

Journalism, doesn't seem to be much demand for journalism teachers in FE these days

I am a A1 qualified assessor and my background is in policing. Having retired from the police I have tried to continue with assessing but trying to convince employers that my skills can be related to other subjects is virtually impossible. I have had a little bit of work assessing taxi drivers but even though I have done this others will not take me on because I haven't been a taxi driver. Its the same with security, although I have a lot of the basic skills involved and have previously in the police assessed nearly the same units because i haven't been a security guard companies wont employ me.

Hey, thanks. Any chance of getting it onto FE press releases on the Home Page and not just on community?

Thanks,

Hello Gavin
Thanks for the call and compliment. I attached the image as a test but my machine at work will not display anything except text, so I never actually saw the effect. Credit must go to Microsoft, it's one of their sample pics!
I have been described as a teacher of "Engineering Academics", a phrase coined by a colleague to describe in one term what we do. I teach fundamental and applied mathematics, electrical and electronic principles and engineering system characteristics to engineering apprentices. in a form of "cradle-to-graduation" training. Seems to work.

Regards, Allan

Hi Gavin, I work with esg and its brands (stl, triangle, sencia and orient) providing group-wide communications consultancy. I also work with a number of FE colleges providing strategic stakeholder communications in support of accommodation renewal and mergers. Glad to hear you're working with Rosie. I'll keep you posted with news.

Cheers

Hi Gavin, thanks for your welcome - I'm still exploring the site!

My background is in working for the Surrey Lifelong Learning Partnership. We're a not-for-profit organisation which helps promote learning for everyone in Surrey, provides an independent voice for learners and identifies gaps in learning provision in order to facilitate planning and action with partners, many of whom are FE colleges. Always looking for ways to network and keep abreast with changes in the sector so this site looks like it will be useful.
