A while ago a woman (whom nobody seemed to have heard of) advertising for teachers to deliver her 'syllabus' (a package comprising teacher training and curriculum advice, business and marketing support and financial commitment, Examination syllabus to offer students, teaching resources) posted on a UK messageboard.
When questioned about her credentials and how she was qualified to offer accreditation she replied at length and in well-written but meaningless marketing-speak which still didn't explain what was in the syllabus. With reference to her qualifications: "To be perfectly honest with you I don't think it bears too much relevance to what is on offer; people should consider the products rather than the person who started their development" and "From an educational background I have a BSc(Hons) and a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education) and delivered classes in Science, specializing Biology to 11 to 18s for many years". She also said that she had been learning belly dance for 15 years and teaching for 5 - fair enough, but to say that her qualifications don't bear much relevance to the product on offer?
