Award in Education and Training

This OFQUAL regulated distance learning qualification is an introductory, knowledge-based teaching qualification which can be undertaken by individuals who are not yet in a teaching role (pre-service) or are currently teaching (in-service). The Level Three Award in Education and Training will equip you with the necessary skills and certification to teach or train post sixteen learners. However, there is a minimum requirement to take part in micro-teaching. Microteaching is an activity where trainee teachers prepare and deliver a short teaching and learning session to their peers and then evaluate their practice. You will have the full support and guidance from a personal tutor for the duration of the course.
