    TEF results: alternative providers and further education

    Share

    The teaching excellence framework is a government-approved system that rates higher and further education institutions and alternative education providers with a gold, silver or bronze rating.

    The framework was introduced in 2017 to judge teaching quality in different institutions. The ratings are determined by six core metrics based on teaching, academic support and progression to employment. Colleges also submitted a 15-page document to a panel of higher education experts and students, which was used alongside the metrics to determine their rating.

    Students can use the TEF, along with a number of other resources, to choose a university based on the feedback from current students at each university or college.
