This qualification is a stepping stone towards the Level 5 full teaching qualification and serves as an introduction to the principles of teaching, training and learning. The knowledge gained will help you to make informed decisions about your own progression. In addition to providing a first step towards a qualification for Further Education (FE) Lecturers, the course will also be appropriate for you if you are a practising or intending teacher, trainer or learning assistant who works in the post-compulsory sector.

Entry requirements

Anyone who is interested in a career in teaching in the FE sector.

What you will learn

  • You'll explore the roles and responsibilities of a teacher or trainer in the further education sector.

  • You'll examine different teaching and learning approaches and when to use them.
