Frequently Asked Questions

The Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training course is for individuals looking to teach or train in the FE and HE sectors. The course is also recognised and all over the world.

There is no specific time frame to complete the course. Most learners complete it in as few as 2 weeks (fast track) or up to 9 months (full time).

Our courses are OFQUAL approved as we work with an approved awarding organisation called “Focus Awards”. This is a well-respected awarding organisation for education and training courses. This is the confirmation of their status-https://register.ofqual.gov.uk/Detail/Index/1391?category=organisations&query=focus%20awards.

The Certificate in Education and Training (CET) was previously known as Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (CTLLS) under the old QCF framework. Apart from the names, both are essentially the same courses.

For Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training, three teaching observations are required which will be observed by one of our qualified assessors.

Each observation should be at least 60 minutes. If it is shorter than 60 minutes, additional teaching observations would be required so it would be best to have each lesson planned for at least 60 minutes.

Absolutely NOT. Your observations should be spread over your course so that there is a learning curve whereby you take feedback from the observer on board and make improvements in your next teaching session.

This should not be a problem. We will wait for you till you find a placement and then, carry out the observations. Meanwhile, you can work on the theoretical part of this course. You can also avail our work placement offer in case you cannot manage finding a placement for yourself. An alternative choice for you is to opt for our Level 3 Award in Education and Training which does not require any work placement.

For Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training, 30 teaching hours need to be logged.

Successful completion of this qualification will lead to a range of career paths in FE and HE sector.

No, you will be assessed by the coursework alone.

If you are 19+, have no criminal background, a satisfactory level of Literacy and Numeracy skills then you are eligible for this course.
