About this course

Level 3 Education and Training Course in Pirbright. Classes run at Pirbright Camp, blending online study with daytime sessions at the centre. This is an introductory course for people who are skilled in a work-related area and want to start teaching or training others. You need to be 19 or over, with a Level 3 qualification or relevant experience in the subject you want to teach. The course runs over 12 months on a flexible study basis. It is the first step toward a full teaching or training qualification, not the final one.

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 19 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 understand the roles and responsibilities of a teacher or trainer in education and training settings.
  • You'll learn how to plan and deliver a short teaching session to others.
  • You'll explore different ways people learn and how to adapt your approach.
  • You'll practise giving and receiving constructive feedback.
  • You'll develop skills in assessing learners and checking their understanding.
  • You'll build awareness of inclusive practice and how to support diverse learners.

How you will learn

Learning is blended, combining online study with daytime sessions at Pirbright Camp. You'll complete a micro-teach, where you plan and deliver a short session to a group and receive feedback on it. Assessment includes written assignments and observation of your teaching practice. There are no formal exams.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Pirbright Camp will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Adult Educator: teach your trade or subject in further education or community settings.
  • Workplace Trainer: train new staff or apprentices within your industry.
  • Skills Coach: support learners developing vocational or work-based skills.
  • Learning and Development Facilitator: deliver training programmes within organisations.
  • Assessor (with further qualifications): assess learners working toward vocational awards.

What you could study next

This Award is a gateway to further teaching qualifications. You could progress to the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training, which develops your classroom practice further. From there, the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training is the qualification recognised for teaching in further education colleges. If you want to assess learners, the Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment is a natural next step.
