About Me

It is through my experiences in education that I have established The Gale Foundation.

My background is a lecturer in Travel and Tourism. I have worked for Schools, Colleges of Further Education and University. Within this arena I have also held additional responsibilities.

I have had hands-on experience of introducing and running different Travel and Tourism courses including Intermediate and Advanced GNVQ; AVCE; BTEC National Diploma; GCE A Level and Foundation Degree.

Changes lead to opportunities and in 2006 I moved from full time lecturing to pursue my own interests with private work.

In conjunction with www.bobholland.org I have produced a number of educational resources for the Travel and Tourism curriculum. These are written for both teachers and students and are packed with practical activities and assessment ideas.

Keeping up to date is important and I have professional involvement with curriculum development. I have worked as in Independent Reviewer for QCA and as a writer for BTEC Nationals. I am also an External Moderator.

The Gale Foundation has been set up to support you by providing quality training and guidance. I believe this can be the catalyst for inspiration and development. The following areas are available:

Support and guidance with Vocational Courses
Consultancy in Travel and Tourism Qualifications
Training for 'Communication Works'

Additionally, The Gale Foundation can provide tailor-made training in related areas. See Other Services for further details.
