Overview

This qualification is a recognised teaching qualification for the post-16 sector.

The Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training prepares trainee teachers and trainers to teach in a wide range of contexts. To achieve the qualification, there is a requirement for teaching practice that requires observation and assessment of performance

Who is the course for?

This is an ‘in service’ qualification designed for those working or wishing to work as teachers/trainers in England. It may also be possible for pre-service teachers/trainers (defined as those who are not formally contracted as teachers/trainers) to also complete this qualification. All candidates, whether pre-service or in-service must have access to 100 hours of teaching.

Once you have achieved this qualification you can apply for QTLS (Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills) status which will allow you to practice as a qualified teacher

What is the duration of the course?
