Commentary on Sections Inspection of further education or training etc. Section 58:  Power of the Chief Inspector to inspect and report
194.Subsection (1) gives Estyn the power to inspect and report on any education and training described in section 57(1). If it does undertake such an inspection, it must publish a report (by virtue of the application of section 57(3) by subsection (4) of this section).
195.Estyn also has the power to inspect and report on any education or training which is not described in section 57(1), but the provision would be if it was funded by the Commission or the Welsh Ministers, if the provider asks Estyn to do so (subsection (2)). In the latter case, Estyn may charge the provider for the cost of the inspection and may publish the report (subsection (3)).
