The Learning and Skills Teacher (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 advanced apprenticeship is for people in similar roles as classroom assistant, teaching assistant – but also behaviour support coordinators, welfare support assistants and team leaders.
