Level 3 Award in Education & Training

QUALIFICATION PURPOSE

The Level 3 Award in Education and Training is an introductory teaching qualification.  This qualification aims to meet the needs of a range of trainee teachers, such as:

• Individuals not currently in a teaching or training role
• Individuals currently teaching and training (including those who have just begun teaching and training)
• Individuals currently working as Assessors who wish to achieve a qualification that provides an introduction to teaching.
• Individuals who are looking to deliver the SIA license-linked qualifications

The objective of the qualification is to prepare learners for employment and support them to progress to a teaching role within the workplace

Entry guidance

All trainee teachers joining this qualification programme should undertake an initial assessment of skills in English, Mathematics and ICT.

They should record their development needs and, where applicable, agree an action plan to address them. If trainee teachers join the qualification programme having already undertaken an initial assessment of their English, Mathematics and ICT skills, their record of development needs and any previous actions taken to address them should be reviewed and updated as required.

Course Overview

To achieve the qualification learners must achieve 3 Units:

Unit 1: Roles, Responsibilities & Relationships in Education
Unit 2: Facilitating Learning & Development in Groups
Unit 3: Understanding Assessment in Education & Training

To complete the full qualification, you will be required to undertake practical scenario assessments of training delivery at one of our training centres and complete a portfolio of assessment with your course tutor.

Please note – your prior learning may reduce the length of time and content of your programme (e.g. already completing Unit 1 within another qualification) – please submit copies of your certificates to studentservices@ngtc.co.uk to apply for exemptions.
