Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training (DET)

A wise man once said that teaching is the profession that creates all other professions – as such, it’s a position of great privilege, but equal responsibility. A great teacher is there to help, to advise, encourage, and nurture. The good news is that this Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training (DET Level 5)will get you qualified to teach post-16.

If that sounds appealing to you, then the good news is that you don’t need a degree. Our Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training course (Level 5 DET) is a nationally recognised teaching qualification for the post-16 sector, and, once you’ve completed it, you’ll be able to:

• Become qualified to teach in the post-16 sector – no degree required!
• Register with the Society for Education and Training (SET), and:
• Work towards QTLS (Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills) status.

After you’ve breezed through 100 hours of teaching practice via your DET course and qualification, this course will enable you to:

• Teach in further education colleges, as well as adult or community centres
• Teach in the third or voluntary sector
• Teach prison or offender education
• Teach for work-based learning providers
• Teach in the public sector, such as police or paramedic training
• Teach in schools and academies, for ages 14-19.

As you study your Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training (DET), you’ll work at your own pace, in your own time, you’ll explore the roles and responsibilities of the teacher, how to manage behaviours in a learning environment, which assessment methods to use and when. In short, Level 5 DET will equip you with everything you need to know to become a brilliant teacher!

How is this course assessed or examined?

This course is assessed in two ways:

Tutor-marked assignments (TMAs)
Each unit is followed by a tutor-marked assignment (TMA) which will be completed at the end of each module and marked by your tutor.

You will not be required to take an external exam with this course as your portfolio of evidence is internally assessed by us and externally quality assured by the awarding body. The outcomes for each TMA are Achieved or Not Yet Achieved. Your tutor will provide feedback on your work, and should there be any amendments required, they will outline what is needed for you to complete that assignment.

Observation (included)
This course requires eight observations. This means that somebody will need to observe you in practice. This could be in a workplace or a voluntary placement. These practical observations are as follows:

1. Internal Observation – there are three in total, and they can be conducted by a qualified person within your placement
2. External Observation – there are five in total, and they will be carried out by an Oxbridge Assessor (we’ll visit you)

We offer five complimentary external observations for this course to any student on the UK mainland, which in addition to the internal observation, is enough to complete the course.
