About this course

Level 3 Education and Training Course in Leicester. Classes run at Leicester College St. Margaret's Campus, part-time over 14 weeks. You'll need English and maths skills at Level 2 to enrol. If you don't hold a GCSE grade A to C or equivalent in English or maths, a short written test will be required. You must be at least 19 years old at the date of enrolment. This education and training qualification covers three units: roles and responsibilities in education and training, inclusive teaching and learning approaches, and understanding assessment. It suits teachers, tutors, and trainers working or planning to work in further education, adult and community learning, or work-based training settings. It is not designed for those wanting to teach in primary or secondary schools.

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 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.
