Chairman of the Council

The Chartered Institution for Further Education was established to highlight the excellence of further education and skills training providers. Now we have become so much more.
As well as being a membership body for further education organisations in the UK with exceptionally standards we are increasingly using our unified voice to influence at the highest levels of government, and are working hand in glove with industry to shape the national skills system, so it recognises and prioritises technical and professional education providers as the key drivers of economic development and growth within their local communities.
The Institution’s Chairman Lord Lingfield, who led the Independent Review of Professionalism in FE, is a passionate and vocal advocate for our sector and is unrelenting in securing the recognition our sector deserves as a driver of economic prosperity, business productivity and individual achievement.
