About this Course

The Award in Education and Training (AET) is an ideal course for those looking for an introduction into the lifelong learning sector (i.e. further education, community education, work-based learning etc.). The course focuses on key aspects of teaching, such as the principles of assessment and inclusive teaching and learning practice, as well as giving students the opportunity to develop their practical skills through a micro-teach session. This is a part-time study programme where students will typically be in college one day per week.

Key Units

The Level 3 Award in Education and Training is not a teaching qualification - it is an introduction to teaching that will give an insight into the roles, responsibilities and relationships in education and training, how to plan and deliver inclusive teaching/training sessions and how to assess and give constructive and developmental feedback.

There are three units:

Unit 301 Understanding roles, responsibilities and relationships in education and training
Unit 302 Understanding and using inclusive teaching and learning approaches in education and training
Unit 305 Understanding assessment in education and training

This corresponds to three written assignments and one practical 'microteach' session. You will also be expected to maintain an Individual Learning Plan, which will contribute to a reflective journal.
