A new online portal which is set to become the leading service for people working within all aspects of further education will be launched this week by the Quality Improvement Agency (QIA). 

The QIA Excellence Gateway – http://excellence.qia.org.uk – gives further education staff access to an unrivalled range of high-quality guidance and information on effective practice to help them further develop their own skills and professional knowledge.

The Excellence Gateway will benefit a range of people right across the further education spectrum – from quality managers in further education colleges to teaching assistants in community learning centres. Key features of the Excellence Gateway include:

• Access to thousands of case studies, good practice guides and support documents.
• Ability for further education staff to upload resources and materials that will benefit others in the sector. Every resource can be rated by any registered user.
• A chance to take part in discussion forums where any issue related to working within further education can be debated.
• A comprehensive directory of suppliers of improvement services to the further education system.
