SET Governance
The Society for Education and Training (SET) aims to raise the quality and professionalism of teachers and trainers across the post-14 Further Education and training system.
We aim to govern our society by:
- Ensuring members are represented and have regular involvement in guiding the strategic development and operational planning of the society.
- Ensuring members are at the heart of everything we do. Their views and opinions will play a central role in determining the future direction of the society.
SET is steered by three groups:
- SET Management Board (SMB)
- Practitioner Advisory Group (PAG)
- Trainee Teacher Advisory Group (TTAG)
SET Management Board (SMB)
The SMB is critical to the function of SET. It consists of SET members from the Practitioner Advisory Group (PAG) and a lay member, in-house Education and Training Foundation (ETF) staff and trustees. Each board member is appointed for a period of three years.
The SMB meets three times a year, aligning with the meetings of the ETF and PAG.

The Practitioner Advisory Group (PAG)
The PAG is made up of 40 SET members working across the FE and training sector.
The group meets three times a year and reports into the SMB.
The PAG aims to share their experiences and discuss membership and the proposals suggested for the SET membership strategy.

Trainee Teacher Advisory Group
The new Trainee Teacher Advisory Group's aim is to advise on key issues impacting on the sector and to provide SET staff with feedback, drawing on the members’ own experience and their knowledge in order to improve and develop the membership offer.
