Highfield Distance 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 you fully understand the teaching role, working with other professionals and your responsibilities in education and training. You 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.

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

Once these are completed, you will have another tutorial to teach you how to plan teaching and learning and prepare you for your micro teach. You will complete your session plan and have it approved by your tutor before you carrying it out to give you the best chance of success.

Once you have completed the micro teach your tutor will give you feedback, both verbal and written, and you will complete a self assessment.

This completes the qualification.

To complete the qualification you will 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. You will receive written feedback after you submit each one
• you will complete a micro teach. You will write a session plan and carry out the micro teach to a small group (this can be friends and family). Your tutor will observe this – it must be recorded. You will then complete self evaluation of the micro teach based on your tutor’s feedback and the feedback of your ‘learners’.
• if you are employed in a teaching role you can use part of your usual teaching to meet this requirement.

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

You will have up to 3 months to complete this qualification. When you enrol your tutor will contact you and arrange an online, face to face induction to introduce the course and so you can ask any questions you may have. At this meeting you will plan the submission dates with your tutor so you can ensure that you are completed  by the deadline. It also means if you wish to complete the qualification more quickly we can arrange this with you. Some of our learners complete in just 2 weeks!

You will be allocated a named assessor who will provide you with unlimited online support throughout the qualification. You will have a face to face online induction with your tutor to plan your first steps and answer any questions you may have. Further tutorials can be arranged with your assessor, either face to face, online or via telephone, as required.
