In university colleges teachers (lecturers) are required to enrol in a pedagogical course, which lakes four years to complete. Postsecondary VET teachers are required to hold a higher level qualification than the level at which they are teaching (i.e. those teaching at professional bachelor level need at least a master’s degree, those teaching in academy profession programmes need at least a professional bachelor). In addition, they are required to have relevant professional experience (the minimum length of work experience is not specified by law).
