Abstract
Craig Tucker, Sarah Pedder and Gemma Martin are practising CBHE lecturers who live the realities of the sector. They document the pressures, pleasures and pains of teaching CBHE and their experience reflects the concerns and celebrations seen elsewhere in the book. Two of the authors are managers of CBHE so they have also responded to some CBHE issues from an institutional perspective. Workload, the difference between FE and CBHE and time for research are their main concerns. The pleasures of teaching at HE-level, the recognition the role gives and the ability to see students develop are highlighted and some of the barriers FE lecturers face when trying to enter into CBHE are discussed.
