The Pearson Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET) is an introductory teaching qualification. Achieving this Award will provide sufficient evidence that you have acquired the necessary skills and knowledge to prepare, plan, deliver and evaluate basic teaching and learning sessions, in a variety of teaching or training contexts.

The AET programme is assessed through written assignments and reports, individual and group case studies, learning journal entries, self-evaluations, group research tasks and presentations and an individual ‘micro teach’ of your practice.
Learners who achieve the Pearson BTEC Level 3 Award in Education & Training (AET) can progress to the Pearson BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Education & Training (DET) providing they meet the minimum requirement of 100 teaching hours over two years. This can then enable progression onto potential careers as Lecturers or Trainers in both the Further Education and Training sectors.
Whilst there are no formal entry requirements, it is an expectation that applicants will have good personal skills in English, Mathematics and Information Technology (IT) as well as being able to reflect on the development of your skills. Learners should have, or be working towards, Level 2 or equivalent qualifications in English and maths.
The course is run as a 10-week part-time evening programme, with sessions being delivered weekly on Monday evenings from 5.15pm to 8.15pm at our Canterbury College site.
The course fees are £295, which covers registration, tuition, resources and certification.
