Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training
If you're on a quest for a hands-on teaching qualification and aspire to either accredit your existing teaching skills and practice or can meet the minimum requirement of 30 hours of teaching practice during the course, the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training (CET) is your perfect choice.
Notably, the Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET) is not a mandatory prerequisite for entry into this program. However, since it aligns with the first year of an undergraduate degree level, we do expect candidates to hold a solid foundation in literacy, numeracy, and ICT at Level 2.
To complete your enrolment, you'll need to fulfil the final prerequisite of 30 hours of paid or voluntary classroom teaching practice, with three hours to be assessed through video recording, Zoom, or an authorised observer who will join you in the classroom on our behalf. Embark on your teaching journey with us today, and watch your educational aspirations come to life!
