I'm interested in teaching Skills for Life
What are Skills for Life?
Skills for Life (SfL) qualifications have been designed specifically to help people who want to develop useful skills that can be applied in everyday life. They can help to boost self-esteem, employability and potentially provide the springboard for individuals to move into other aspects of further education.
As an SfL teacher in England you would be providing support to people over the age of 16, including adults, who want to develop their reading, writing and mathematics skills. SfL Certificates are available in:
- Adult literacy
- Adult numeracy
- English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)
As an SfL teacher you might work in one or a combination of establishments, which are collectively known as Lifelong Learning. These include FE and sixth-form colleges, adult and community learning, work based learning and offender learning.
Careers to choose from
There's usually a good mix of part-time and full-time work opportunities. You can find further information about SfL teacher by clicking here and further information about learning support practioners by clicking here.
