Abstract
Abstract This article explores the important issue of initial teacher training and the future of professional development in further education. It develops the argument that changes in the curriculum and delivery of the post 16 curriculum are demanding new and more flexible skills from lecturers. Present initial training and staff developments exist within a policy vacuum and are partial and fragmented. The FE sector needs a coherent professional development framework with initial training being a statutory requirement for FE teachers linked to a professional framework which develops lecturing staff to degree level and beyond.
