Abstract	This document details the position of the Further Education Development Agency (FEDA) regarding 21 issues included in a recent initiative to introduce compulsory initial teaching qualifications into further education (FE) and the requirement that such qualifications should meet national standards. The following are among the positions taken by the FEDA on the 21 issues addressed: (1) FEDA is confident that the proposed skills required of FE teachers reflect those required for initial teacher training as seen by all key stakeholders; (2) teachers in postcompulsory education should themselves be able to demonstrate levels of key skills equivalent to those demanded of teachers in the compulsory sector; (3) all full-time FE teachers should be required to have a threshold qualification; (4) teachers should receive credit for existing qualifications; (5) 2 years seems an appropriate time in which new full-time teachers are expected to achieve a threshold qualification; (6) exemptions from the threshold requirement should be granted to existing unqualified full-time teachers under a narrow set of circumstances; (7) some distinction between the requirements for full-time and part-time teachers should be permitted; and (8) a professional body for FE established by the sector itself is the best means of implementing qualification requirements.
