To receive the Level 3 Award in Education and Training, you need to attend the Training Course and successfully complete the assessment. 

It does not cost anything additional to receive your Award in Education and Training, as it is already factored in the cost of your AET Training Course. Make sure you check that the assessment cost is part of the course fee. 

You do not need to renew your Level 3 qualification because it is valid indefinitely. 

To be eligible for the Award in Education and Training, you need to be at over the age of 19 and have successfully completed the AET Training Course and assessment. You will be expected to have strong numeracy and literacy skills, as well as access to a computer with internet (so that you can submit your course work/assessment). 

The Training Course for the Award in Education and Training lasts for 3 days and has 3 core units. These will cover: roles and responsibilities of a teacher, planning and the importance of assessments. The course is designed to increase your confidence as a teacher and make your teaching style more effective. On the final day of the course, you will be expected to conduct a 15 minute "Micro Teach" session. This will count towards your assessment and be recorded.

The AET Training Course is assessed by 3 written assignments and a 15 minute practical. The 3 written assignments need to each be around 1000 words and will cover the 3 core units (roles and responsibilities of a teacher, planning and the importance of assessments). You will be guided on the format during the course. Finally, for the practical assessment, you are required to conduct a 15 minute lesson ("Micro Teach") in front of your trainer and class. You will have an opportunity to complete this on the third and last day. 

The AET Qualification is not a legal requirement, but most organisations and employers only hire individuals who have this award. Therefore, if you are interested in teaching within the post-16 sector, it is highly recommend. Moreover, the Training Course for this qualification will teach you valuable skills and increase your effectiveness. 

The theory or classroom part of the course can be completed via e-learning. However, candidates will not get a chance to engage with the trainer and learn by example. Furthermore, as part of the practical assessment, the candidate will be required to present a 15 minute lesson in person. 

If you are looking to take part as a teacher in the post-16 sector, the AET Qualification can significantly boost your employment opportunities.
