Course Details

This qualification has been developed to provide learners with the contemporary knowledge, skills and professional behaviours required for those working, or aspiring to work, as teachers within the further education sector. It has been designed to reflect current occupational standards and replaces the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training, providing an updated route for learners seeking to develop their teaching practice and professional competence.

The qualification is designed to support the diverse range of teaching and training roles found across the further education landscape. It is relevant to educators working in colleges, adult education, offender education, work-based learning and independent training organisations, enabling learners to develop skills that can be applied across different educational environments and learner groups.

Learners will develop the knowledge and skills required for subject-specific teaching, enabling them to respond to challenges within their specialist area through appropriate and effective pedagogical approaches. The qualification supports learners in integrating subject knowledge with teaching strategies to create engaging, inclusive and effective learning experiences.

In addition, learners will develop digital competence and establish a baseline standard of technology skills, helping them use digital tools effectively and adapt to the evolving role of technology within further education.
