Level 5 Education and Training Course in Stourbridge. Classes run at PhemaGrace Stourbridge, full-time during the day. This level 5 education and training qualification is designed for people who already have a vocational or subject specialism and want to teach in further education, adult learning, or training settings. Many people come to this education and training course as a second career, bringing professional experience into the classroom. The course runs over 24 months.
Who this course is for
The Learning and Skills Teacher (LST) is a ‘dual-professional’, having first achieved competence in a vocational or subject specialism and then subsequently trained as a teacher. This means that many teachers in the Education and Training Sector (ETS) begin teaching as a second, or even later, career. The Learning and Skills Teacher role is pivotal to the success of traineeship and apprenticeship programmes in delivering effective vocational education and training that meets both learners’ and employers’ needs.
