Someone is deemed to be in an Associate Teacher Role if their role and responsibilities are to teach predominantly in at least one of the following ways:

• from packs/pre-prepared materials, and therefore has fewer responsibilities in design of curriculum and materials
• on a one to one basis
• programme confined to a particular level/subject/type of learner (i.e. does not develop or deliver a full range across a curriculum area)
• short courses
