Description
These qualifications in Education and Training are suitable for anyone who needs an initial award for their role as a teacher, trainer or tutor within the Further Education sector, whether that be private, community or voluntary-based setting, including Adult and community learning, a private training provider or in a work-based training environment.
The GA Level 3 Award in Education and Training – is ideal for learners who need an introduction to teaching. Teaching practice is not a requirement of the qualification. There is a requirement for a micro-teach.
The aim of the GA Level 3 Award in Education and Training is to provide an introduction to teaching. Depending upon the optional units chosen, a learner will either need to take part in microteaching (Unit 02) or teaching practice in the work environment (Unit 03 and Unit 04). Therefore if the microteaching option is taken, the qualification may be undertaken by individuals who are not in a teaching role.
This qualification can meet the needs of learners who are trainee teachers, such as:
• individuals not currently teaching or training. Achievement of the qualification does not require practice other than microteaching/peer teaching unless units from the Learning and Development suite of qualifications are selected;
• individuals currently teaching and training (including those who have just begun teaching and training). Although the qualification does not require practice other than microteaching/peer teaching (unless units from the Learning and Development suite of qualifications are selected), opportunities may be made available to observe and provide feedback on a trainee teacher’s practice;
• individuals currently working as assessors who wish to achieve a qualification that provides an introduction to teaching.
Some units from the Learning and Development suite of qualifications may be achieved within this qualification. These units require practice to be assessed. The regulatory purpose of the qualification is to ‘prepare for employment in a specific occupational
area’ (C2).
This qualification consists of one mandatory unit and five optional units.

12 credits overall, consisting of:
