Hello, Can you please tell me if this course will allow me to teach CITB courses/Health and safety once completed? Or do i have to do further study?

To deliver regulated qualifications you will almost certainly need to gain the level 3 award in education as a pre-requisite for your application with an awarding organisation regulated by OFQUAL. I would recommend that you find an awarding organisation operating in the sector you would like to teach in, and check additional requirements for approval (as they will different between different awarding organisations). You may want to search for 'OFQUAL register' for more information.

Hello, can you confirm the number of students necessary for the micro teach session please?

You must have at least 1 student in your lesson.

I’d like to teach English abroad but don’t have the necessary qualifications; would this course make me more “employable”?

What is the difference in all courses such as levels 4 and 5? Could we start from level 4 or 5 or do we have to start from the beginning ?

Level 3 is an introduction to teaching/training and you do not need to be currently teaching. The level 4 and 5 qualifications are for those already in a teaching and looking to further their skills. To enrol on the level 4 you must have a minimum of 30 hours teaching experience. To enrol on the level 5 you must have at least 100 hours teaching experience. If you meet the above criteria you may be able to bypass some or all of the qualifications, feel free to call us to discuss.

The awarding organisation suggest 50 - 80 hours in total. Some people dedicate themselves to it and have completed the course in as little as a week - although this is hard work. Our courses aim to be as flexible as you need and our awarding organisation can also work quickly providing certification as little as 48 hours after we submit your grades to them. I hope this is useful?

There are written assignments and a short 15-minute video that you need to record of you teaching a learner. All fees for assessment and certification are included in our course costs.

The total qualification time is 120 hours. These hours can be completed at any pace up to 12 months. Some people will complete in weeks some take 12 months - we are very flexible and allow you to dictate the pace.

Would I need to do this if I have a level 7 (PGCERT and am a lecturer in paramedic science? I want to teach basic first aid. Thank you :)

Hi I have nvq2 in beauty therapy do you need nvq3 to teach after you get this qualification

Hello I wish to teach Pool lifeguard and Health and Safety training. Are there any prior qualifications you need prior to enroll ?

Level 3 is the requirement for teaching pool lifeguard and many health & safety related qualifications. The only requirements for our level 3 are that you over 19 years of age and have a good standard of literacy to complete your assessments.

Hi there. Is the Level 3 AET a suitable qualification for those wishing to pursue a career as a further education (college) lecturer ?

Yes, this will meet the essential requirements and get you an interview. A prospective employer in this field will then normally expect you to complete a higher level qualification such as the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training once you are employed and have suitable experience to meet the minimum requirements for enrolment in the L5 DET.

Does this course help you become a teaching assistant

This qualification is aimed at the adult education sector and would have limited value if you want to become a teaching assistant. A qualification such as the Level 3 Award in Supporting teaching and learning in schools may be a better option.

Does this give you a teaching qualification in order to gain QTS?

This qualification is aimed at the adult teaching/training sector and wouldn't be suitable for gaining QTS which is aimed at schools. The normal route for QTS is to get a degree, PGCE and then start the QTS application.

Hi I am looking into teaching hairdressing , would this course help towards that thank you

Yes, this course would be required if you want to gain insurance for teaching in the beauty/ hair industry.

How do you sign up to a awarding body after this course

If you are looking to deliver regulated qualifications you will need to follow the awarding organisation process to apply for approved training centre status. The process will vary between different awarding organisations but in general, they will want to see that your staff are qualified and you have robust quality systems in place. I would recommend you approach a couple of awarding organisations to help guide you on what is expected. Guidance can also be found on the OFQUAL website.

With this qualification will I be able to become a nvq assesor for dental nurses? I’m currently a qualified dental nurse

This qualification is the first step towards your career in assessing and teaching. You would normally also need a Level 3 Certificate in Assessing vocational achievement (CAVA), but the CAVA is normally completed on the job once you have a position.

It looks as if you have to have a specialised subject in mind to teach, like photography, a trade for example. Is this correct?

It would be beneficial if you could have a specialist area in mind to help give examples in your work that provide context to the theory.

Do you offer a combined PTTLS CTTLS & DTTLS course for someone who already has a level 3 qualification (A levels)?

Thanks for your message. You do not need to complete the lower level qualifications and can access the DET straight away if you have the ability to complete the required 100 hours of teaching, be observed 8 times in a teaching environment and can demonstrate your literacy skills (your level 3 qualification will enable that part). Additionally, you need to be over 19 years of age.

My employer will be paying for me to go through this training. Can you please advise me how payment can be made? Thanks

I believe your employer can purchase this course directly through the reed website, however, if your employer requires us to invoice please contact us directly through our own website.

QCF was replaced by RQF a little while ago. You need to be looking for the Level 3 Award in Education and Training (RQF) which is what the SIA require - and we have many students in your situation on this course.

The different between Level 3 Award in Education and Training (RQF) Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (CAVA) (RQF) formerly A1

The Level 3 Award in Education and training is aimed at those looking to teach in the adult education sector. By contrast the A1 or CAVA will allow you to gain employment as an assessor which is a little bit different. In many cases assessors will also hold a level 3 award in education and training as they will be teaching and assessing.

I am interested in this course, how much can I pay for 9 months?

Reed administer payments through their website and I believe they offer up to 3 month payment terms. We offer longer payment terms through our own website directly - up to 5 months.

Once qualified will I be able to give out certificates to people I teach?

If you are teaching any form of regulated qualification you will need an awarding organisation to produce certificates for you - you can search for the regulator 'Ofqual' for more information on awarding organisations in your sector.

Hello I am willing to teach in school, so either middle or high. Course description says its for teaching adults, so does it also apply to school

I have a qualification in Children’s Learning And Development 0-18 years that I completed sometime ago. Can I still teach this and Where?

The Education and training awards do not have enquiry dates. However, we recommend you keep up to date with ongoing professional development to maintain your professional competence.

Would this qualification be recognised to register with the guild of beauty therapists and be able to issue certificates through Gti

Yes, you would be able to gain accreditation with an awarding organisation to provide certificates once you have completed this course.

So how do I obtain this qualification if I have no one to teach. Your previous response to my question did not help me at all.

I am sorry but if you can't meet the standards by delivering a teaching session you can't pass the course. This is a requirements for the awarding organisation. The only other way around it is to visit our training centre in Shropshire and deliver to us.

Asked this before but no response. I want to do this but I have no one to teach. No friends or family. What do I do ?

Thank you for resubmitting this question which we have previously answered. Our awarding organisation require us to see you deliver the micro teaching to a student. We cannot mark your teaching as a pass without meeting this requirement.

This is the entry level teaching qualification in the adult sector. You don’t need to be in a teaching role to compete the course and can complete your final assessment (micro teaching) in a simulated classroom such as your own home.

I have no one to teach. No friends or family. What do I do?

Unfortunately, you cannot complete a lesson without anybody to teach. The only other alternative would be to visit us at our training centre in Shropshire?

How do you submit it do micro teaching when you have no one to teach

You must teach your lesson to a real person - this could be friends or family members if you are not currently teaching in the workplace.

Yes - the Level 3 Award in Education and Training is enough to teach in the adult sector.

I was just wondering about what forms of identification are acceptable and what people can do if they don't have photographic ID?
