Level 3 Education and Training Course in Hull. Classes run at Craven Park Training and Enterprise Centre, three hours a week over 16 weeks. This part-time daytime schedule makes it manageable alongside work or other commitments. The course is an introduction to teaching and training. You do not need to be in a teaching role to enrol. You'll explore the roles and responsibilities of educators, inclusive teaching methods, and how to assess learners and give feedback. It is a gateway to further teaching qualifications, not a standalone licence to teach. You need to be 19 or over, and hold a qualification or experience in the subject you want to teach.
