Highfield Level 3 Award in Education and Training

Highfield Level 3 Education and Training
What’s It About?

This five-day Education and Training course is designed to give you the knowledge and confidence you need to be able to deliver teaching or training relevant to your own situation. This could be as a teacher in further education, adult and community learning, work-based learning or as a trainer in the private training industry. 

This qualification replaces the old PTLLS (Preparing to Teach in the Life Long Learning Sector) course.

What Will You Gain?

By attending this Education and Training course, you will learn how to be an effective teacher or trainer.  You will also know how to maintain a safe and supportive learning environment.

You will know how to plan, deliver and evaluate your own training programmes; as well as how to make your training inclusive, engaging and effective.

You will learn different assessment methods and be able to evaluate the training against the aims and outcomes.

Who Should Attend?

This Highfield Level 3 Education and Training course is perfect for you if you want to either develop a career in teaching or training. It is also ideal if you wish to take your skills to another level or enhance your current qualifications.

This course is also right for you if you are working as an assessor, and you wish to achieve a well-respected qualification that provides an introduction to training techniques.

The course is also suitable if you wish to gain a nationally recognised training qualification and develop a lifelong learning sector career.

This course is the minimum requirement for anyone wishing to deliver training that is publicly funded.

If, however, you are wanting to deliver in-house training for your company or wish to register as an associate trainer for an awarding organisation, such as Highfield Qualifications, the Highfield Level 3 Award in Delivering Training, may be more suitable.

Why’s It Important?

Inclusive learning and teaching recognises everyone’s entitlement to a learning experience that respects diversity, enables participation, removes barriers and anticipates, and considers various learning needs and preferences.

If you wish to train others, irrelevant of the subject or field, you must have the required skills to train effectively. This sounds obvious, but this is something that is so often overlooked.

Just because you have the knowledge and skills in a specific subject, does not mean that your can train effectively.
