Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET)

What is the Level 3 Award in Education and Training?

The Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET) is a qualification designed for individuals who are new to teaching or those wishing to gain an understanding of the principles and practices of teaching. It is particularly suitable for those who want to teach in the lifelong learning sector, including further education, adult education, and work-based learning.

The qualification covers a range of topics, including understanding roles, responsibilities, and relationships in the classroom, planning and delivering inclusive teaching and learning sessions, and assessment methods.

The AET is an important stepping stone for those starting out in teaching as it provides a solid foundation of knowledge and skills that are essential for delivering effective and engaging lessons. It also allows individuals to progress on to higher level teaching qualifications such as the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training or the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training.

MKLC students can complete their AET with either a structured one-week course or self-paced over one month.

Why Choose MKLC Training?

Students are more than just a number. Our qualified tutors support our students with regular feedback and guidance throughout the course to help individuals achieve their qualification.  

If opting for the one week course, we aim to ensure everyone has completed their assignments during the week, and ready to present their micro teach sessions to the rest of the group at the end of the week. Micro teach sessions are held on the final day of the course, and students must be available to present their micro teach either face to face or via Skype.

The online AET means you get to study at times to suit you, and most of our students choose to access the course in the evenings and over the weekend.  This qualification is targeted at those who are new to teaching; and can be regarded as a stepping stone to the certificate (CET) and diploma (DET) at a later date.

BONUS OFFER:

You can also add the Award in Online Teaching as part of your CPD and to give you more confidence in teaching courses online. You can sign up for both the AET and AOT for just an extra £75.
