Award in Education and Training Level 3. Is a government-regulated qualification in initial teacher training. This is the bare minimum qualification required to teach in the Further and Lifelong Learning sector. This course is made up from 3 core units which lay the academic and practical teaching foundations required to become a competent teacher.
Lots of graduates of this course go on to complete additional training in advanced teaching e.g. The certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement Level 3, the certificate in Internal Quality Assurance Level 4, the Certificate in Education CET Level 4. or the Diploma in Training DIT Level 5, and eventually QTLS Qualified Teacher Status in the Lifelong Learning sector.
We are also planning to offer the Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (CAVA) in the near future. This is an essential qualification if you want to go on to assess students for government-regulated qualifications.
The CAVA is a level 3 government-regulated assessment qualification in 2 units. Unit 1 is theory, and Unit 2 is practical. We plan to be able to offer students for our CAVA candidates to assess; this has always been a sticking point and problem for CAVA candidates in the past. Because they would have to go and find their own students to assess in registered centres. We will register candidates as our own tutors so that they can assess our students; they won't need to go find their own.
We estimate our fees to be as follows AET = £249.00 CAVA = £695.00
