A Guide to the Diploma in Teaching and Related Qualifications

Level 5 and beyond

A one-stop shop for successfully achieving the new Diploma in Teaching and related qualifications.

This one-stop resource for trainee teachers within the Further Education and Skills Sector (FES) incorporates all the core requirements of the new Diploma in Teaching (DiT) for FES. Also, fully linked to the occupational and professional standards developed for the FE teaching landscape.

This book provides both new and existing teachers with information and support for a career in the sector, as it is fully aligned with the latest government requirements. It emphasises what it means to be a teacher, the centrality of the learner, and the need for teaching to be less about the process and more about the personal.
