Level 3 AET Course Overview
The Level 3 Award in Education and Training (L3 AET) is the recommended choice for anyone wishing to work in the field of education and training. Previously known as the Level 3 Award in Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS course), it is the accredited foundational course in the realm of training. Our Level 3 Training online course accredited by UK OfQual helps people teach and train in a variety of subject areas.
Often, completing the Level 3 Education and Training qualification is a prerequisite for teaching and training in both the FE and HE sector. Crucially, all that is required to complete this course is an innate drive to teach and train as no prior training or experience is essential. The course provides a solid foundation for understanding the principles and practices of teaching and training, whether in the workplace or in an educational setting. Our 100% online learning format also enables learners to progress at their own pace.
Potential Progression Routes after Level 3 AET
The Level 3 AET course, formerly known as PTLLS opens new avenues for a career in education. It helps learners prepare for the teaching, assessing or quality assurance roles one may want to pursue in the future. Moreover, the AET training course will provide you with the requisite skills to advance in Further Education.
In addition to this, the achievement of the Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET) permits progression to further qualifications such as the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training, Level 5 Diploma in Teaching (FE and Skills), Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement, and Level 4 Award in Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice with focus on increasing responsibilities in teaching, assessment, or quality assurance.
Do I need a workplace or a physical classroom for the Level 3 Award?
The Level 3 Award permits the simulation of lessons. You can deliver your lesson in a workplace, classroom, or even at home, as long as you have access to learners. Such adaptability is part of the reason the AET course is so approachable for new and prospective educators.
The course is built to facilitate practical components, so whether you are pursuing the AET Level 3 qualification or just considering your career options in teaching, the course works around your schedule.
Unit 1: Understanding roles, responsibilities and relationships in education and training
