The DET qualification is for those carrying out a teaching role and who need to gain Qualified Teacher status (QTLS).

This corresponds to the full teacher role and is the equivalent of the CertEd or PGCE. The qualification can lead to Qualified Teacher of Learning and Skills (QTLS) status once combined with continuing professional development and a period of professional formation. It is a Level 5 award with 120 credits. The Diploma comprises Part 1 and Part 2 and there is a requirement for a minimum of 100 hours of teaching.

The Diploma in Education and Training Level 5 prepares trainee teachers to teach in a range of contexts. It is an in-service qualification, which means there is a significant practice requirement, and as such you should be in a teaching/training role, as this qualification will assess, and provide evidence of, competence when undertaking teaching and/or training responsibilities. Topics covered include:

– planning, delivering and evaluating teaching and learning

– developing the skills to assess learning in education and training

– developing knowledge around theories, principles and models in education and training

– understanding professionalism and the influence of professional values in education and training

For the Diploma in Education and Training Level 5 you will need to provide evidence of 100 hours teaching and 8 observations of teaching, this should total a minimum of 8 hours. For the graded observations at least 2 of these should be graded at Grade 2 of Ofsted’s standards. The observer should be qualified to at least level 5 or be a specialist in your subject area.
