Distance – Highfield Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET)

Highfield Level 3 Award in Education and Training consists of three units that must be fully completed to gain the qualification.

• Understanding roles, responsibilities and relationships in education and training
• Understanding and using inclusive teaching and learning approaches in education and training
• Understanding assessment in education and training

The course content ensures your staff fully understand the teaching role, working with other professionals and their responsibilities in education and training. They will discover ways to maintain a safe and supportive learning environment and explore ways to create an inclusive teaching and learning environment.

It is the perfect introduction to teaching and training for your staff.

Once your staff member enrols with us, they will be assigned a tutor who will arrange an online face to face induction with them. During this induction we cover the course and content, plan their timeline and introduce the assignments. They will have course materials for each unit and we will also send them the course textbook  ‘Award in Education and Training’ by Ann Gravells. As they submit their assignments, we will give them support and feedback to help them successfully complete.

Once the assignments are completed, they will have another tutorial to teach them how to plan teaching and learning and prepare for their micro teach. They will complete their session plan and have it approved by their tutor before carrying it out to give them the best chance of success.

Once they have completed the micro teach their tutor will give them feedback, both verbal and written, and they will complete a self-assessment.

This completes the qualification.

To complete the qualification learners must complete the following tasks:

• 3 assignments- one for each unit. These are made up of short answer questions clearly linked to the assessment criteria. There are about 6 -10 questions in each assignment. Learners will receive written feedback after they submit each one.

To help learners the tutor will work to agree the timeline/submission dates for the qualification and provide support and feedback after each submission. Learners can resubmit  work after feedback. Learners will also have an online tutorial before starting the microteach  so learners are fully prepared and have time to ask any questions or address queries.

Teaching requirements

• all learners will need to provide evidence of their teaching practice
• if not in a teaching role, their tutor will arrange for them to carry out an observed micro teach for 15 minutes on any topic of their choice and for the learner to observe a teaching session
• if employed in a teaching role learners can use part of their usual teaching of 1 hour which will be observed by their tutor online to meet this requirement and will not be required to undertake the micro teach or observation.

Learners have up to  3 months to complete this qualification. On enrolling the tutor will contact the learner and arrange an online, face to face induction to introduce the course and give the opportunity to ask any questions.
