The Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training is a first stage teaching qualification which has a teaching/training practice requirement. It is an “in service” qualification designed for those working or wishing to work as teachers/trainers. The qualification is suitable for those delivering education and training in any learning environment.

Are there any entry requirements?

Candidates should be experienced/qualified in the area they intend to teach, and should already hold the Level 3 Award in Education and Training (formerly PTLLS). You will need access to at least 30 hours of teaching practice and will be required to complete an initial assessment in English, Maths and ICT.

How is this award delivered?

The award is delivered through 8 full day courses at a HOET Training Academy, followed by an additional assessment of your teaching skills which is arranged with you to suit your needs in your place of work.

Upon successfully completing this qualification, you will have a fundamental understanding of the roles and responsibilities of a teacher/trainer in relation to:

  • legislation
  • equality
  • diversity

  • meeting the needs of learners

You will be able to use initial and diagnostic assessments and plan/deliver inclusive teaching and learning. You will also be able to assess learning and use appropriate resources to support effective learning.

Testimonies

“We have found that apprenticeships are a great way to encourage staff into the Teaching Assistant role while gaining qualifications on the job. It also enables our existing Teaching Assistants to advance their careers through further qualifications and knowledge” Kelly, Caldecote Community Primary School
“The program was incredibly beneficial, particularly when transitioning into a new sector or taking on responsibilities requiring specialised knowledge” Gordon, School Business Professional Level 4 Apprentice
“Throughout I have had lots of support and frequent meetings with my educator. I have also had 1 to 1 sessions to assist my learning and aid me in reflecting on my practise. I feel like I could have approached anyone for support at any time which was amazing.” Shauna, Former Teaching Assistant Level 2 Apprentice
