Education and Training - Level 3 Award

This initial teacher training qualification gives you an insight into the roles, responsibilities and relationships in education and training, how to plan and deliver inclusive teaching sessions and how to assess and give constructive feedback.

You will gain the knowledge and skills needed to progress as a teacher or trainer in the further education and skills sector.

This course is offered as blended learning, a mixture of classroom and online learning.

Topics covered can include:

• The roles, responsibilities and relationships in education and training
• Inclusive teaching and learning approaches
• Assessment of learners
• Facilitating learning and development for individuals
• Facilitating learning and development in groups
• Understanding principles and practices of assessment

You must have achieved a qualification and/or have experience in the subject area you wish to teach, at the appropriate level. In addition, you will need literacy at the appropriate level, including the ability to read and interpret written tasks and organise written information clearly and coherently.

All applicants must have an initial assessment and interview to confirm that the course is suitable for them.

There are three units that are divided into sections and assessed by means of assignments, one of which is a 20-minute micro-teaching session.
