Education and Training (EAT)

EAT is the entry level qualification for those who wish to become a teacher, trainer or facilitator. It will teach you the skills required to be an excellent trainer who enables those around you to succeed. This EAT course will provide learners with the necessary skills and knowledge to support their delegates in a learning conducive environment.

EAT training has been developed for anyone entering or involved with teaching or training roles and needs to achieve the threshold qualification required to become a teacher.

This can include; adult and community learning or development, Further Education and Higher Education, libraries and archive information services and vocational learning.

This award in EAT can be the first step towards a PGCE (postgraduate certificate in education). All of our courses are led by a professionally qualified teacher with many years of experience.

They are taught in small classes where discussion and understanding of the course is prioritised over exam oriented learning. Upon completion, our learners are experienced and have a comprehensive understanding of the role and function of a tutor or teacher.

We provide our EAT course through a partner company who is accredited by CIEH (Chartered Institute of Environment and Health)
