The Level 5 Diploma in Teaching is tailored for individuals currently teaching or training learners aged 14 and above. Throughout the course, you’ll log 250 hours of your teaching practice and complete 11 mandatory units.

This course offers a flexible, cost-effective alternative to a traditional degree—enabling candidates to achieve a full teaching qualification in a shorter time frame.

Successful candidates can then go on to apply for QTLS and have equal parity with PGCE graduates. However, many learners find that the Level 5 Diploma alone is sufficient to secure full-time teaching positions in colleges or secondary schools—even without QTLS
