Course Details

This qualification is designed for qualified and experienced teachers, trainers and education professionals who are responsible for observing colleagues delivering teaching, training or learning sessions. It is particularly suitable for those who carry out formal observations as part of their role, as well as individuals who manage or support a team of observers within an education or training environment.

The course helps learners develop and strengthen the knowledge and practical skills needed to plan and undertake effective teaching, training and learning observations. It also supports the development of clear and constructive post-observation feedback, helping observers provide meaningful guidance that can contribute to improved teaching practice, professional development and learner outcomes.

Those who already have experience of carrying out observations can also benefit from completing the qualification. It provides an opportunity to build on existing knowledge, develop a more structured approach to the observation process and gain formal recognition of the skills and experience they have developed within their professional role.
