About this course

Level 3 Education and Training Course in Poole. Classes run at Bournemouth and Poole College of Further Education, part-time during the day. The course runs for 10 weeks and is open to anyone aged 18 or over who is functional in English and Maths. It covers session planning, inclusive teaching approaches, and motivating learners. A micro-teach and short written assignments make up the assessment. It is preferred that you hold a Level 3 qualification in your own specialist subject and a Level 2 qualification in English and Maths.

Who this course is for

Would you love to become a teacher in the Further Education sector? Are you passionate about learning and helping others to learn? Then the Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET) is for you. This is a short, part- time course designed to start your career in teaching, learning and assessment. There are no entry requirements, other than being functional in English and Maths. However, you will need to be over 18 years of age. As students will be working at Level 3 (A Level) standard, between 3 to 5 hours additional learning a week on top of the classroom hours would be recommended and is dependent on how experienced you are at writing/researching at this level. The AET Award is a mandatory minimum qualification for all those teaching in the Learning and Skills Sector and replaces the old PTLLS qualification.

Entry requirements

It is preferred that you have a minimum Level 3 qualification in your own area of specialism and hold a Level 2 qualification in English and Maths. There are no requirements for teaching practice during this course.

What you will learn

  • You'll explore teaching and learning approaches suited to your specialist subject area.
  • You'll develop session planning skills for structured, effective lessons.
  • You'll learn how to deliver inclusive sessions that motivate and engage learners.
  • You'll practise micro-teaching and receive graded feedback on your delivery.
  • You'll build the knowledge needed to meet the threshold teaching standard for the Learning and Skills Sector.

How you will learn

You'll attend classroom-based sessions part-time during the day. Assessment includes one graded micro-teach and a number of short written assignments. There is no exam and no requirement for a teaching placement. Expect to spend around three to five hours a week on additional study outside class, depending on your experience with writing and research at Level 3.
