About this course

Level 3 Education and Training Course in Leicester. Classes run at Leicester College Abbey Park Campus, part-time during the day over 14 weeks.

The course covers three core units. You'll explore roles and responsibilities in the course, inclusive teaching and learning approaches, and assessment methods. Topics include session planning, behaviour management, developing resources, and inclusive practice. The course is an introduction to teaching in the Further Education and Skills sector. It was previously known as PTLLS.

You must be at least 19 years old to enrol, and Level 2 English and maths are required. You'll finish with the Ascentis Award in Education and Training.

Who this course is for

The Level 3 Award in Education and Training is an introductory teaching qualification. It was previously known as PTTLS . The award is appropriate for teachers, tutors and trainers who may be working, or intend to work, within an FE college, adult and community learning centre or learning provider and for those delivering work-based training such as within voluntary, community, private and public organisations. This qualification is not suitable for those wanting to teach in primary or secondary schools.

This is a full cost course. There is no fee remission available and you cannot apply for an advanced learner loan to pay for your fees.
