You must also be at least 19 years or over with prior teaching experience in a school and be able to communicate effectively in English which includes listening, speaking, reading and writing.
How can I be confident of quality?
The tutors used to deliver this qualification have experience in teaching and in teacher training in schools and the Further and Higher Education sector.
The recommended guided learning hours are 61 which is equivalent to 12 credits. We run this course over 5 days.
Many of our competitors squeeze this course into three or four days, which we think is too short a time to prepare the foundations for effective teaching.
We prefer quality in greater depth in order to provide high quality teaching within the system.
This is a knowledge-based teaching qualification. There is, however, a minimum requirement to take part in microteaching. Microteaching is where trainee teachers prepare and deliver a short teaching and learning session to their peers and then evaluate their practice.
The qualification is composed of one mandatory unit and two optional groups containing various optional units, of which one must be selected from each group.
The course costs £399+vat. This includes your registration fee which we pay to 1st4sport on your behalf, planning, delivery, photocopying, resources, a course portfolio/learner pack, assessment, internal verification, course administration and certification
