WHAT DOES BEING A MEMBER OF SET MEAN TO YOU?


Afzal Sayed Munna, teacher and educational consultant


SET is a platform for me to upgrade my own personal and professional development that is required to be the best in the FE/HE sector.


Dave Darwent, teacher SET (and the ETF) are the first ever attempt to represent the lifelong learning sector in the same way as the High Education Academy (HEA)


represents higher education institutions (HEIs). Unlike the former General Training Council and Institute for Learning, SET is an opportunity for genuine peer-reviewed standards to be developed, supported, applied and monitored. It offers genuine training, support and guidance, which is directly related to my research interests.

It brings me opportunities to network and collaborate with professional colleagues in many different types of organisations and different teaching


contexts. I see the enthusiasm for professional development and that keeps my morale high and encourages me to carry on working to develop my skills and knowledge. I get regular newsletters and access to online courses. I also enjoy reading inTuition and sharing ideas from it with my students. SET makes me feel part of a special profession.


Ed Sallis, former principal and consultant


It is very important to me, both professionally and personally. The key aspects of professionalism are having


a code of ethics, professional standards and the opportunity to engage with my peers, and SET provides that. When I started in FE, we lacked this.


Nafisah Graham-Brown, teacher Doctors have their professional body and lawyers have theirs. Why not teachers? It makes me feel more of a legitimate professional. Working together with a membership body always gives you strength in terms of negotiation, and access to training and CPD.
