Can you tell me how do you call the person in charge with doing practice with students in a vocationa school? Not the teacher but the one with the practical part?

I mean the official term in school- a person who is in charge with the practical education he is not a real teacher , just does practice with the students in industrial and vocational school it should be an official term//// |

I �m not sure such a role exists in English schools and we don �t have vocational schools. Every child follows the national curriculum. You have to be a qualified teacher to be in charge of a class. There are teachers who teach Food Technology, Resistant Materials, Business Studies and so on. We have teaching support assistants, who help in class and cover supervisors who stand in for absent colleagues. |

Hi Mirela
Our vocational students exist in both post-secondary colleges and upper secondary schools [doing the non-university entry stream which is called VET in Schools-Vocational Education and Training in Schools]
As part of an accredited vocational course each student does an unpaid practical placement (about 80 hours)where they can practice what they learned. It gives them exposure to the skills learned, in an authentic environment, through observation and practice.
Their Work Placement Supervisor (or Placement Supervisor) usually visits them once or twice during their work placement and observes their participation, attitude etc and signs off their work placement booklet.
Usually, but not always, the Work Placement Supervisor is also their vocational teacher/lecturer and possess vocational as well as trainer/assessor qualifications for post secondary colleges and standard teacher qualifications and trainer/assessor qualifications for upper secondary school.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

In England, people who teach hairdressing and vocational subjects like that, would generally be based in a college. Guess what - they would have a degree or diploma and would be called a lecturer and they have the same status and pay as the lecturers of academic subjects.
But you could call the people you describe �instructors � or �tutors �. |

I work in a community college, and my official title is "Instructor." So I agree with the others, instructor is the closest we have to what you mean. I would not use "teacher instructor" because that �s redundant. If you must qualify it, how about "practical instructor"? |
