    2. Design, administer, and grade examinations, essays, and other assignments.
    3. Organise educational visits and professional experience durations for students.
    4. Assist in teaching administration, including the creation of timetables.
    5. Collaborate with other professional and commercial institutions to keep the course content updated.

    • Teacher in Further Education
    • Tutor in Further Education
