Transforming Lives Awards Winners

Celebrating teachers, trainers and tutors who help adults change their lives through learning.

NIACE in partnership with NOCN and the Institute for Learning (IfL) launched the Transforming Lives Awards this year for teachers, trainers and tutors in England. Each year, alongside the outstanding achievements of Adult Learners’ Week Award winners we hear stories of the exceptional efforts that teachers, trainers and tutors go to to support their learners and provide them with the tools they need to succeed. Great educators can be found in many places; colleges or schools, local communities or at work through work based training.
