As proud recipients of the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Silver Award, Essential Teaching UK is committed to supporting members of the Armed Forces Community as they transition, develop, and thrive in both their military and civilian careers.

We recognise the wealth of skills, experience, leadership, and professionalism that Armed Forces personnel bring to education, training, assessment, coaching, and mentoring roles. Our Armed Forces Community Membership is our way of continuing that support beyond your initial training and recognising your ongoing commitment to professional development.

Open exclusively to serving personnel, veterans, reservists, military spouses, and those who have previously trained with us through Armed Forces pathways, this membership provides continued access to learning opportunities, career progression routes, and exclusive benefits designed to support your next chapter.

Membership Benefits

• 10% discount on all courses, qualifications, and CPD programmes
• Continued connection to a professional learning community within the Teach FE (ITE & Quality) Further Education and Skills sector Network
• Ongoing guidance and support as you progress into education, training, assessing, coaching, or leadership roles
• Access to progression pathways that help translate military experience into recognised civilian qualifications

Whether you are preparing for resettlement, developing a second career, or continuing your professional journey within education and skills, our Armed Forces Community Membership ensures that your learning journey with Essential Teaching UK continues long after your first course has finished.

Because supporting those who have served is not just a commitment for us it's part of who we are.
