This Apprenticeship leads to a career as a Learning and Skills Teacher (LST). A LST is ‘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 (ETS) 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. LSTs teach young people and adults within all parts of the ETS, including work-based/independent training provision; further, adult and higher education; offender-learning; and the voluntary sector.
