The Institute for Learning (IfL) is a UK professional body, first incorporated in 2002 as the voluntary professional membership body for teachers and trainers in the UK. In 2007 the IfL became the regulatory body for teachers working in English further education colleges and other providers in receipt of government further education funding. The regulations requiring membership of IfL were repealed through revocation with effect from 30 September 2012. Preceding this, 'in light of the interim report of an independent review of professionalism', the IfL reverted to its original status as a voluntary professional body. The IfL is a not-for-profit Company Limited by Guarantee (Company No. 04346361).
The IfL aims to support the professional teaching and training practice of its members for the benefit of learners in the UK. IfL members work across the further education and skills sector, including adult and community learning, emergency and public services, FE colleges, the armed services, sixth-form colleges, the voluntary sector, offender learning and work-based learning.
