Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK)Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK) is leading the reform of initial teacher/tutor/trainer education in England (ITTTE), as part of the further education workforce reforms.
LLUK has produced a guidance document for awarding institutions on teacher roles and initial teacher training qualifications, including generic and literacy, numeracy and ESOL teaching qualifications.
LLUK is also responsible for developing units of asessment, which make up the new Skills for Life and generic teaching qualifications, as well as new professional standards for teacher/ tutor/ trainer education in the lifelong learning sector.
