About this course

Free Level 3 Education and Training Course in Redditch. Classes run at Heart of Worcestershire College Osprey House, with daytime sessions on a flexible schedule. This education and training qualification covers planning, delivering, assessing, and evaluating inclusive teaching and learning. You'll explore how to work with individual learners and groups. The course takes around one year to complete. No prior teaching experience is required, though a basic level of literacy is needed. This free education and training course for adults is a practical starting point for anyone moving into teaching or training roles.

Who this course is for

Are you new to teaching? Do you need a ‘survival kit’ to support you? Perhaps you want to find out if teaching is right for you by doing a taster course.

This 10-week introductory course is a valuable starter course for new practitioners entering the sector. It is desirable that the award is taken immediately on entry into the profession. It is aimed at those with little or no experience of teaching or training who are considering or wishing to teach or train in the sector.

Entry requirements

This is a Level 3 course and although there are no entry requirements you will require a basic level of literacy. There is no requirement for you to have teaching practice to undertake this course.

What you will learn

  • You'll explore the roles and responsibilities of a teacher across the training cycle.
  • You'll learn how to plan and deliver inclusive teaching sessions for individuals and groups.
