qualifications

hi all I have completed the course and am really keen on becoming an OU tutor. I have autism so the ability to work from home and the fact that the OU makes reasonable adjustments encourages me so much more as I had to leave my previous job due to discrimination.

on doing the course the only qualification that you seem to need is a degree? is this correct?

I am likely to get a first in BSc Hons. natural sciences(chemistry) and was wondering what level modules I would be able to teach?

Also I have never heard of Cisco networking materials and was wondering if I needed to use this as an OU tutor would i be taught about it?

many thanks

Shannon
