[Abstract]: Critical spirit is perceived as a disposition, a tendency or an attitude that collaborates with critical thinking to prompt the asking of the question 'why?' within vocational education and training environments. The paper explores the convergence of TAFE teachers' critical spirit, their work and the concept of lifelong learning.
