This is a short, part- time course designed to start your career in teaching, learning and assessment. There are no entry requirements, other than being functional in English and Maths. However, you will need to be over 18 years of age. As students will be working at Level 3 (A Level) standard, between 3 to 5 hours additional learning a week on top of the classroom hours would be recommended and is dependent on how experienced you are at writing/researching at this level. The AET Award is a mandatory minimum qualification for all those teaching in the Learning and Skills Sector and replaces the old PTLLS qualification.
