British Council in partnership with UKTI has produced a guide to technical, vocational education and skills in the UK. This is a free resource for skills organisations and colleges involved or looking to develop international work.

The guide, written in plain English, aims to offer readers an accessible description of the main components of UK vocational education system and includes sections on UK policy, providers, qualifications and awarding organisations, regulation, quality assurance and careers guidance. The guide also includes case studies of how some representative UK organisations work internationally.

The guide is free to download from  www.britishcouncil.org/skills-for-employability.
