Why Our Tutors Made the Move
BPIF Training represents a natural progression from my years within the print industry. It has allowed me to move from working in production and operations into a role where I can help shape and develop the next generation of print professionals.

Watching someone realise that, with hard work and the right mindset, they are capable of far more than they initially believed, which is incredibly rewarding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need teaching experience?+
No. What we’re really looking for is solid, current experience in print, packaging or a related technical trade. If you’ve trained a new starter on a press, talked a colleague through a fault, or written down how a process should work, you’ve already been teaching — just without the job title. We’ll handle the rest.
Do I need a teaching qualification?+
Not to apply. Most of our tutors join us without one and work towards it while employed — typically a Level 3 Award in Education and Training, and an assessor qualification such as the Level 3 CAVA. We fund the qualifications and build the study time into your role, so you’re not paying for them or fitting them around evenings and weekends.
What support and training will I receive?+
You’ll start with a structured induction covering apprenticeship standards, our systems and how assessment works, then shadow an experienced tutor before taking on your own caseload. After that you’ll have a named line manager, regular one-to-ones, observations with developmental feedback, and access to our standardisation meetings and CPD programme. Nobody is left to work it out alone.
Where are opportunities available?+
We deliver to employers right across the UK, so opportunities come up nationwide — with the heaviest concentration where the print and packaging sector clusters. Even if there’s nothing live in your area today, get in touch — we keep details on file and contact you as soon as something opens up near you.
How much travel is involved?+
It varies by patch. Tutor roles are field-based, so expect regular visits to employer sites within your region, usually planned into a predictable weekly pattern rather than booked ad hoc. A good share of teaching, reviews and marking is done remotely from home. Business mileage and travel costs are reimbursed.
Can I work part time?+
Yes. We offer full-time, part-time and flexible arrangements, and we’re happy to talk about reduced hours or a phased move out of a production role. Caseloads are sized to your contracted hours. Tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll be straight with you about what we can accommodate.
Still have questions?
Happy to talk through the role and training — no obligation.
