Description

Our online Level 5 Diploma in Education course leads to Fully Qualified Teacher Status or QTLS with the Society for Education and Training. This qualifies teachers or trainers to teach across a wide range of FE, HE institutions, Colleges, Training Providers etc in the UK and abroad. You are usually expected to complete the course within 9 months from enrolment. We however give you an additional 3 months if you fail to complete during the normal duration which stretches the time period to a maximum 12 months.

What will I learn?

There are seven units covered in this course. These are:

Unit 1 - Developing teaching, learning and assessment in education and training

Unit 2 - Teaching, learning and assessment in education and training.

Unit 3 - Theories, principles and models in education and training

Unit 4 - Wider professional practice in education and training

Unit 5 - Teaching in a Specialist Area

Unit 6 - Developing, using and organising resources in a specialist area

Unit 7 - Inclusive Practice

The course is assessed via a combination of written assignments and practical portfolio evidence from your current teaching role.The theoretical assignments require you to analyse theories of teaching and learning, linking them to your own teaching practice and evaluating your own practice. Our electronic presentations with video links and accompanying sources will guide you through each unit step by step.

The practical element requires you to compile an e-portfolio of your current teaching practice. This includes logging 100 hours of teaching and 8 lesson observations. The observations need to be observed by a qualified teacher.

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.
