Level 3 Award in Education and Training (RQF)

The Pearson BTEC Level 3 Award in Education and Training replaces the Award in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (levels 3 and 4). The new qualification is the result of a review by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS).

The Level 3 Award in Education and Training provides an introduction to teaching.

The Level 3 Award in Education and Training provides an introduction to teaching. It can meet the needs of a range of trainee teachers, such as:

• Individuals not currently teaching or training
• Individuals currently teaching and training (including those who have just begun teaching and training) although the qualification does not require practice other than microteaching
• Individuals currently working as assessors who wish to achieve a qualification that provides an introduction to teaching.

The new qualification consists of 3 mandatory units and includes an exciting curriculum to provide the underpinning knowledge and skills to prepare students to start or enhance their teaching careers.

This course will cover:

• Unit 1 – Understanding the roles, responsibilities and relationships in education and training.
• Unit 2 – Understanding and using inclusive teaching and learning approaches in education and training.
• Unit 3 – Understanding assessment in education and training.
