This qualification combines flexible online distance learning with a practical microteaching assessment.

Once enrolled, you can access your learning materials through our online platform and complete the theoretical elements independently, without attending regular scheduled teaching sessions.

You will work through three units covering professional responsibilities, inclusive teaching approaches and assessment within education and training.

Your knowledge will be assessed through a portfolio of evidence, including written assignments completed and submitted through the online learning platform.

A microteaching assessment is also required. You must participate in at least one hour of microteaching, including delivering a minimum 15-minute session observed and assessed by an appropriate member of the delivery team.

The remaining time can involve observing or participating in additional microteaching sessions. Remote delivery may be possible where it meets TQUK assessment requirements.

You do not need to be employed in a teaching role or complete a mandatory workplace placement for the selected unit combination.
