Education and Training

The Award in Education and Training is the threshold qualification for anyone wanting to teach in a wide range of settings including the Further Education and Skills Sector, workplace learning, offender learning and adult community contexts. The qualification is a direct replacement for the Level 3 Award in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Sector (2011). As with the qualification it replaces, it continues to be based around preparing and delivering a micro-teach session.

The Pearon BTEC Level 3 Award in Education and Training (QCF) is an introductory teaching qualification. Achieving this award will provide sufficient evidence that the learner has acquired the necessary skills and knowledge to prepare, plan, deliver and evaluate basic teaching and learning sessions in a variety of contexts.
