Every teaching session is led by an experienced Tutor who holds a relevant Level 5 teaching qualification, such as the Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), the Certificate in Education, and the professional recognition of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS). A Learning Support Officer supports the Tutor to ensure all students engage in learning and stay on task during the - session or activity. All our staff and volunteers have been through an enhanced DBS check. _ Weare committed to building and developing the knowledge, skills and experience of all staff members and volunteers. The organisation understands that professional development and training contribute to the effectiveness and the quality of the service the team provides. Therefore, ACE provides training and development opportunities for all its employees and volunteers so that they can perform their work effectively and in a safe working environment.

Leased assets

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a Straight-line basis.
