These Regulations amend the Further Education Teachers’ Qualifications (England) Regulations 2007 so that the Institute for Learning replaces Lifelong Learning UK, as the body which must be satisfied in relation to evidence to show that a person has the necessary skills or experience to teach, for the purposes of regulation 2(2)(c).

An Impact Assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as it has no wider impact on the costs of business, charities or voluntary bodies. The impact on the public sector is minimal.
