EDUCATION AND TRAINING AWARD LEVEL 3

Are you already training others, or would like to train others in the workplace? Then the Award in Education and Training is a really great way to introduce yourself to the education and training sector and will cover a broad range of topics that will help you develop as a trainer.  

The qualification aims to support you to reflect on your own previous/current levels of experience, practice and skills, and areas for development as well as identify principles of learning, teaching, assessment, and evaluation. You will develop confidence, communication and interpersonal skills and develop an awareness of your professional role and responsibilities.

Although there are no formal entry requirements for this qualification, you should have a genuine interest/qualification in your subject/skill. The course will entail you to complete a subject assessment portfolio and present a 15 minute micro-teach at the end of the course. There will be an opportunity to look at and explore progressing onto the Level 4 Diploma in Education and Training.
