What information do you, as a tutor, have to provide that is used by any of these staff:
MIS
Quality
Exams

Is there anyone else you have to provide information for?

13. True or False!
Just tell us at the end of the year how many learners you’ve got left
If you don’t know the learning aim code don’t worry we will put it on for you
As long as there is someone in front of the learners that’s all that matters
Really it was a ‘satisfactory’ lesson but I’ll put you down as a ‘good’ so you don’t have to be referred for staff development

14. True or False!
If you need laptops to provide learning in a community venue then get them – if they get lost then we will deal with that
If you need new equipment just order it and we’ll get an official order written up later
Don’t worry if you haven’t done all your teaching hours this year.
