The Skills Commission's Inquiry into teacher training in vocational education was launched on Tuesday 23rd February at a reception on the House of Commons Terrace.

UK Skills was invited to present evidence to the Skills Commission on its finding and recommendations for building the capacity of vocational teachers to meet the highest international standards, and its piloting of an MA in Coaching and Management Learning in partnership with the Brathay Trust and the University of Cumbria.

Simon Bartley, Chief Executive, UK Skills and WorldSkills London 2011 said:  "By hosting WorldSkills London 2011, the UK has set itself the challenge of demonstrating the quality of the UK's vocational education and training system through a world beating performance by the UK team."
