FAQs
Level 3 qualifications are equivalent to A level and other equivalent qualifications.
You can advance to further vocational study and earn a Bachelor of Arts in Education or a BA in Education (BEd). Besides these progression opportunities, you can also enhance your resume and increase your chances of getting hired.
For the Level 3 award in Education and Training qualification, you must be seen teaching in an actual classroom; simulation is not allowed, and your observations must be conducted in an actual classroom.
The course is evaluated through the submission of 15 min micro teaching sessions that you conducted in a classroom setting and writing assignments based on the course's sections. Once you submit your assessments, your teacher will individually review and grade them.
Your instructor will provide feedback and the option to resubmit assignments if additional work is required.
The teaching session must be recorded using a smartphone, tablet, or other camera device and uploaded to your web portal in order to be graded. You will also be required to provide teaching records and documentation such as lesson plans, learner evaluation, scheme of work, etc proving you've taught in a classroom.
For the supervised study, 48 hours are allotted. However, the total amount of time we anticipate you to spend on this award, including all the research and writing tasks is 120 hours. These hours can be distributed in any way you desire as you have the choice to complete the course whenever it's convenient for you over the course of a year.
No, a Level 3 course will not qualify you for Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) status. You need to complete the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training (older name). The newer name is DiT (Diploma in Teaching). The DiT was introduced in September 2024 as a replacement for the DET. While the name has changed, the content and requirements of the qualification remain largely the same. After completing DIT, you can apply for QTLS by showing your teaching skills and knowledge through Society for Education & Training (SET) professional formation.
You have a year to access this course, so you can complete it at your own pace and convenience.
There is no prerequisite in terms of prior knowledge for this training.
With no time limit on completion, our online courses are accessible for life. If there is a safe internet connection, every course is fully accessible from a tablet, phone, or laptop.
You will be able to order the TQUK-accredited Level 3 Award in Education and Training, which is governed by Ofqual, after completing the assignments and the teaching assessment.
Education and training levels differ in the depth of knowledge and skills acquired. Level 3 is foundational, Level 4 is subject-specific, and Level 5 is for higher expertise. Completing Level 5 can lead to Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills status. To be able to teach Level 2, one must undertake Level 3; for both Level 2 and 3, Level 4 must be completed; and for all three levels, one must take Level 5.
QTLS (Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills) is intended for teaching post-14 learners in the Further Education (FE) and Skills sector, including Sixth form colleges and adult education, while QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) is specifically for teaching in primary and secondary schools. QTS typically involves completing a rigorous training program that includes teaching practice. On the other hand, QTLS requires you to teach or train groups of five or more students who are 14 years old or older for at least 230 hours within a period of 6 months in a relevant role within the FE and Skills sector.
