Teaching Practice Requirement

A crucial component of excellent beginning teacher preparation is the practice component. Each unit in this certificate has a unique practice requirement.
Transfer of Practice
There is no transfer of practice from a prior Level 3 Award in Education and Training(AET), including an approach that has been watched and assessed. Trainee teachers who have earned the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training(CET) may apply twenty hours of practice and two hours of course that was observed and assessed towards the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training's (DET) practice requirements.
At least eight observations must be made to achieve level 5 DET, each lasting at least eight hours. Any observed practice finished as a part of the Level 3 Award in Education and Training is not included. Every single observation must last at least 30 minutes.
Practice for the Education and Training units for level 5 DET must occur in a classroom setting. A minimum of eight observations, of course, are required. The following necessary units must be connected to the eight observations:
- Teaching, learning, and assessment in education and training (Level 4)
- Developing teaching, learning, and assessment in education and training (Level 5).
