Program Outline

Year 1

This qualification gives you an introduction to teaching and explores various roles and responsibilities associated with a teaching role within the education and training sector. This includes an introduction to lesson planning, exploring concepts such as behaviour management, learning theories and approaches, motivation, assessment, and some actual practical teaching experience via a micro-teach.

You will be assessed via three written assignments and a practical teaching task.

On successful completion of this qualification, you can progress onto the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training if additional requirements are met. Opportunities are also available to specialise in English, maths or e-learning as part of a progression route which will help in gaining a place on the PGCE/Diploma if you don’t yet have a specialist qualification.
