Level 3 Award in Education and Training

Do you want to be a teacher or trainer? Have you never had the time to re-train? This is the course you need. Formerly known as PTLLS, the Level 3 Award in Education and Training gives you the knowledge and qualification you need to teach. It is a nationally recognised Award, accredited through Open College Network (West Midlands). Study at your own pace in whatever environment you choose.

Complete within 12 weeks (or sooner if you like!) with this fast-track option.

The great thing about distance learning is that you can spend as much or as little time on topics as you wish. It may be that you already know about safeguarding, in which case you may choose to simply skip to the assessment, which is something you can’t do when you study in a classroom. But maybe you need to spend longer on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs… in which case, you can!

Our Award in Education and Training PDF workbook is really easy to navigate. There are lots of activities in the book for you to do if you choose to, but not if you don’t. As long as you complete all of the assessments to the required standard, you will successfully complete your Award. You have access to an experienced and qualified tutor at all times.

Practical teaching requirements

You'll deliver a Microteach, which is a 15 minute session on a subject of your choice. This is observed by the tutor and other delegates. 45 minutes must be spent observing other delegates and providing feedback to them. You can do this in person or via a recording, so no student is disadvantaged by opting for distance learning.

This course is ideal for teachers, tutors, trainers or anyone delivering or planning to deliver sessions.

We have helped chefs, support workers, business development professionals, health and safety trainers, nurses, hairdressers, job coaches, HR managers and in-house trainers become more effective teachers in their chosen field.

You don’t have to be in a teaching role currently to study for this qualification as the practical element is covered by the Microteach.

None! You don't need to already be in a teaching role and no previous experience is needed. All we ask is that, if you are taking up a distance learning course, you're happy to study in this way.

Most of our students go on to work in full time teaching positions in colleges, the NHS, in their own industries or on a freelance basis. Some have even opened their own training centres and academies!
