7. Networking & Communications Event New Education & Training Qualifications Sharon Nash, Quality Improvement Manager

8. Teaching Qualification Update • New teaching qualifications are changing to Education and Training qualifications • Reflect the need for FE teachers to be both professionally experienced within their area of expertise and suitably equipped to teach • Having a vocational qualification doesn’t mean you know how to transfer them

9. Some Key Changes The qualifications are of increasing size, with increasing practice requirements. • Level 3 Award in Education and Training • Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training • Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training.

10. Specialist Qualifications Specialist qualifications are also available at Level 5 for those teaching • English (Literacy) • English (ESOL) • English (Literacy and ESOL) • Mathematics • Disabled learners

11. Some Key Changes • The qualifications are no longer ‘nested’ within each other (for example, neither the Level 3 Award nor the Level 4 Certificate is included as part of the Level 5 Diploma) • A trainee teacher can undertake the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training without having previously achieved one of the qualifications at a lower level

12. Some Key Changes • Apart from the Level 3 Award in Education and Training, all qualifications require trainee teachers to have part of their teaching practice observed and assessed • In the new qualifications, a much greater emphasis has been given to the teaching practice component, including observed and assessed practice, reflecting the emphasis on quality of teaching in the CIF

13. It is not generally acceptable for a teacher educator to have only a Level 3 teaching qualification if they are delivering and/or assessing ITE qualifications.

14. Teacher educators delivering Level 5 qualifications must have a teaching qualification equivalent to Level 5 in the QCF themselves • If teaching on the specialist qualifications, a specialist qualification and experience within that area is required

15. The qualifications differ in terms of size, level, length of time to complete, practice requirements and content. • By comparing these key features, employers and individuals can determine the most appropriate qualification for their staff or for themselves.

16. There is no expectation that trainee teachers who are part way through a qualification should move to the new qualifications • There is no requirement for staff already holding teaching qualifications to ‘requalify’ by taking one of the new qualifications.
