TEACHER TRAINING
LEVEL 3 AWARD IN EDUCATION AND TRAINING
The Ascentis Level 3 Award in Education and Training is an introduction to teaching. The Award is appropriate for teachers, tutors and trainers who may be working within an FE college, a Community Learning and Skills provider or an Independent Learning provider, and for those delivering work-based training – for example, within voluntary, community, private and public organisations.
The Award gives the learner an introduction to teaching and explores roles and responsibilities associated with the teaching role. It covers the planning and delivering of sessions, including engaging and motivating learners and establishing ground rules within a learning environment. It explores the different assessment methods and the need for record-keeping. The delivery of an observed microteaching session or an assessed practice in a real work environment is a requirement of this qualification.
