When I investigated the possibility of running some classes at the local 
activity centre, they said that they required all teachers to have a 
qualification. I think it was the PTLLS (Preparing to teach in the 
lifelong learning sector).  They wanted this even for "Workshop" type 
courses that didn't offer any formal qualification at the end.

There are plenty of other venues to choose from, but it's a shame that 
the local council are being so funny about courses - from what little 
market research I did, it seems that the Adult Learning and Skills 
leaflets that the council insists of putting through our doors every few 
months are the main way that people in my area hear about free courses.
