Who it's for:
The Learning and Skills Teacher (LST) is a ‘dual-professional’, having first achieved competence in a vocational or subject specialism and then subsequently trained as a teacher.
This means that many teachers in the Education and Training Sector begin teaching as a second, or even later, career. The LST role is pivotal to the success of traineeship and apprenticeship programmes, in delivering effective vocational education and training that meets both learners’ and employers’ needs.
Outcome / Qualification etc.
- Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training or equivalent
- Level 2 Safeguarding
- Apprentices without Level 2 English and Maths will need to achieve this level prior to taking the end point assessment.
