I train now and again at the moment, just to keep me hand in as it were. (arf)
My theory is that training keeps you sharp in consultancy and consultancy keeps you credible when you train. (In fact this is one thing I check when I spend good money on training. Trainers must have real world experience or you might a well just read the book that they're reading...)
Also, it helps to keep me outside of IR35...
But ASB is absolutely right, FE colleges (or whatever they're called these days) are gagging for experienced technical trainers. Give 'em a call...

I'm a Oracle\Java Developer and once I start working for myself, I would like to maximise my earning potential by having a couple of sidelines, teaching is the first thing that sprung to mind.
I'm a web/asp/.net/sql developer and thats what all my sidelines entail. I just went to vistaprint, ordered a load of company flyers and touted them round local businesses, gives me more sideline work than i can handle. Stick to what you know and it wont do you no wrong.

Does anyone here teach as a sideline? Do you enjoy it? How did you get started?
Cheers
Alternatively a friend of mine tutored a bunch of course at a local tech. He found it quite rewarding, but not particularly well paid. He just rang them up and said "maybe I can help"
