Not sure where to post this really, as its for anyone who holds training qualifications.

I am currently doing my 7303 qual and the tutor pointed me in the direction of the IFL. Its a professional body for teachers, trainers and tutors within the learning and skills sector. Its currently free to join on line, but by post its £25, and I believe from September you have to pay whether you register on line or post.

Im not sure if anyone is interested also there is the LLU (lifelong learning UK)

Successful applicants are placed on the Recognition register and become eligible to go on to apply for the status of either Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) or Associate Teacher Learning and Skills. These are the new licences to practise and are conferred by the Institute for Learning (IfL)

• new entrants to the lifelong learning sector as one route to gaining licensed status
• those part way to achieving the qualification for their role when the 2007 regulations were implemented
• existing members of the workforce who voluntarily wish to seek licensed status.

You have to be amember of the IFL before you can apply to the LLU, personally I think its a good idea, have a look and see what you think. Its helping maintain teaching standards. I have put the weblinks below.
