Education & Training Level Three
The Level 3 Award in Education and Training (QCF) has been designed to provide an introduction to teaching for individuals who would like to work or currently work within FE Colleges, Independent Training Providers and/or Local Authorities.
Description
It can meet the needs of a range of trainee teachers, such as:
- Individuals not currently teaching or training – achievement of the qualification does not require practice other than microteaching, unless units from the Learning and Development suite of qualifications are selected.
- Individuals currently teaching and training, including those new to the profession – although the qualification does not require practice (see explanation above), opportunities may be made available to observe and provide feedback on a trainee teacher’s practice.
- Individuals currently working as assessors, who wish to achieve a qualification that provides an introduction to teaching.
- The Level 3 Award in Education and Training (QCF) is assessed through the completion of a learner portfolio of evidence which is assessed and internally.
