This is a Level 5 teaching qualification which enables the candidate to undertake a full teaching role in the learning and skills sector.
The Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training is a teaching qualification which has a teaching/training practice requirement. It is an ‘in service’ qualification designed for those working or wishing to work as teachers/trainers in England. It may be possible for ‘pre-service’ teachers/trainers (those who are not formally contracted as teachers/trainers) to also complete this qualification.
Candidates who successfully complete this qualification will take an analytical and practical approach to all aspects of planning, delivering and assessing inclusive teaching and learning. Whilst doing this, candidates will embed theories and principles in education and training and demonstrate them in their practice.
All applicants (whether pre-service or in-service) must have access to 100 hours of teaching (in either a voluntary or paid capacity). Where an applicant has already achieved either CTLLS or the Certificate in Education and Training, then candidates must have access to 70 hours of teaching.
Applicants must also be qualified to at least Level 3 in the subject you intend to teach. In addition, you must have achieved GCSE in English (or equivalent qualification) and it is recommended that you have at least achieved a Level 2 in Maths in order to progress in a teaching career. This requirement is negotiable and is at the discretion of the tutors.
Depending on the subject you wish to teach; Macclesfield College may be able to facilitate the finding of voluntary teaching hours for potential candidates who want to undertake this qualification. Please contact the Course Team at Macclesfield College to discuss this further.
