Overview

The Online Level 5 Diploma in Education & Training (DTLLS) is designed for candidates who are already in a teaching / training role with children aged 14 years or above. On the course you will log 150hours of your current teaching and complete 11 mandatory units.

Successful candidates can then go on to apply for QTLS and have equal parity with PGCE graduates. However the Level 5 qualification alone can be enough to secure a full time teaching position at a college or secondary school (without QTLS).

The course is a great alternative to a degree that may allow candidates to achieve full teacher status in a much smaller time scale and at a fraction of the cost (compared to university).

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
