About this course

Level 3 Education and Training Course. Study online at your own pace over 6 months. You need to be 18 or over and have a qualification or experience in the subject you want to teach. This level 3 education and training qualification covers three mandatory units: your roles and responsibilities as a teacher, inclusive teaching and learning approaches, and how to assess learning. It introduces you to teaching in the post-16 sector without requiring a formal teaching placement, though you will take part in microteaching. It is a stepping stone toward higher-level teaching qualifications.

Who this course is for

This is an introductory course for people who are skilled and qualified in a work related area and want to learn to teach or train others. Known as a 'Gateway' course, it won't equip you to be a fully qualified teacher or trainer, but it is the first step to accessing higher level courses that will do so.

Entry requirements

You need to be 18 years or over. You should have achieved or be aiming to achieve a qualification at NVQ level 3 and/or have experience in the subject/skill you wish to teach.

What you will learn

  • You'll explore the roles, responsibilities, and relationships involved in education and training.
  • You'll learn how to plan and deliver inclusive teaching and learning sessions.
  • You'll understand different approaches to assessing learners.
  • You'll practise microteaching to apply your learning in a structured setting.
  • You'll develop an understanding of legislation and professional standards relevant to post-16 teaching.

How you will learn

You study through an online platform, working through three mandatory units at your own pace. You have 6 months of access from the date you purchase the course. Assessment includes written assignments and microteaching. There is no minimum teaching practice requirement, but you must take part in microteaching as part of the qualification.

What you will need to bring

Harriet Ellis will confirm anything you need before you start. You will need reliable internet access and a device to access the online study platform.

What you could study next

This Award is the first step toward full teaching qualifications.

From there, the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training is the qualification recognised for those seeking a full teaching role in further education. Some learners also pursue assessor qualifications such as the Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment.
