About The Institution

The Chartered Institution for Further Education was established to highlight and promote the excellence of further education and skills training providers and to recognise individual contribution to the advancement of vocational, technical and professional education.

Our members are leading providers of technical and professional education who typify all that is exceptional within the further education sector.

 

About The Institutio

Together, we collaborate with industry and allied organisations in FE to influence and shape the national skills system and ensure that FE providers are recognised as key drivers of economic development and growth within their localities and on a national scale.

This work enables us to use our unified voice to engage at the highest levels of government, to work collectively and to share best practice.
