New Education & Training Qualifications

Sharon Nash, Quality Improvement Manager

Teaching Qualification Update

• • • New teaching qualifications are changing to Education and Training qualifications Reflect the need for FE teachers to be both professionally experienced within their area of expertise and suitably equipped to teach Having a vocational qualification doesn’t mean you know how to transfer them

Some Key Changes

The qualifications are of increasing size, with increasing practice requirements. • • • Level 3 Award in Education and Training Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training.

Specialist Qualifications

• • • • • Specialist qualifications are also available at Level 5 for those teaching English (Literacy) English (ESOL) English (Literacy and ESOL) Mathematics Disabled learners

Some Key Changes

• • The qualifications are no longer ‘nested’ within each other (for example, neither the Level 3 Award nor the Level 4 Certificate is included as part of the Level 5 Diploma) A trainee teacher can undertake the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training without having previously achieved one of the qualifications at a lower level

Some Key Changes

• • Apart from the Level 3 Award in Education and Training, all qualifications require trainee teachers to have part of their teaching practice observed and assessed In the new qualifications, a much greater emphasis has been given to the teaching practice component, including observed and assessed practice, reflecting the emphasis on quality of teaching in the CIF

• It is not generally acceptable for a teacher educator to have only a Level 3 teaching qualification if they are delivering and/or assessing ITE qualifications.

• • Teacher educators delivering Level 5 qualifications must have a teaching qualification equivalent to Level 5 in the QCF themselves If teaching on the specialist qualifications, a specialist qualification and experience within that area is required

• • The qualifications differ in terms of size, level, length of time to complete, practice requirements and content. By comparing these key features, employers and individuals can determine the most appropriate qualification for their staff or for themselves.

• There is no expectation that trainee teachers who are part way through a qualification should move to the new qualifications • There is no requirement for staff already holding teaching qualifications to ‘requalify’ by taking one of the new qualifications.
