Guided Learning Hours

Total Qualification Time

The Total Qualification Time (TQT) encompasses both guided learning hours (GLH) and an estimate of the hours a student is anticipated to commit to independent preparation, study, and other-directed learning activities, including assessments not under direct supervision. Qualification credit values are based on TQT, where one credit corresponds to 10 hours of learning. For this particular qualification, the Total Qualification Time is established at 120 hours.

Method of Assessment

The method of assessment for this course comprises written assignments and microteaching sessions. Specifically, in Unit 2, learners are required to engage in a one-hour micro teaching activity. Within this session, each learner must deliver a 15-minute teaching session, which will be observed and assessed by a tutor. Following their own presentation, learners have the option to either conduct additional microteaching sessions or observe their peers for the remaining 45 minutes. It's important to note that all assignments must be submitted through an online platform, and simulating the qualification is strictly prohibited.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
