Overview

Physical Education Teaching Support Level 3 Training is designed for learners seeking a structured understanding of Physical Education from a teaching support and educational awareness perspective. The course focuses on how Physical Education contributes to learners’ physical development, wellbeing, learning, and inclusion within school and educational settings.

Learners explore the foundations of Physical Education, including its historical and philosophical background, ethical considerations, and the physical, cognitive, and social benefits of physical activity. The course also examines curriculum planning, assessment principles, instructional strategies, safety awareness, and inclusive practice.

Physical Education teaching support is presented as a collaborative role that assists qualified teachers in delivering safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate physical activity. Rather than preparing learners for qualified teaching roles, this course develops informed understanding, classroom awareness, and practical insight into supporting Physical Education programmes.

By the end of the course, learners will have a clear understanding of Physical Education principles and how effective teaching support contributes to positive learning experiences and healthy lifestyles.
