• Level 3 Award in Delivering Training: This is ideal for anyone new to teaching who wishes to deliver short, industry-specific courses (e.g., Food Safety, First Aid, Health & Safety, or Manual Handling) where the content is pre-designed. It focuses on the practical skills of preparing for, delivering, and evaluating inclusive training sessions.

• Level 3 Award in Education and Training (EAT): This is a broader qualification designed for people who want a solid, nationally recognised foundation in adult education. It covers the essential skills needed for effective teaching, including planning, delivering, and assessing training sessions, and can lead to teaching roles in various sectors, including further education.

While specific requirements vary by the course you plan to deliver, Highfield and other awarding bodies often require trainers to hold a recognised teaching qualification (like the Level 3 EAT) to ensure quality. You will gain skills in:

• Session Planning: Structuring and preparing engaging lessons tailored to learner needs.

• Effective Delivery: Using various teaching methods to manage a classroom and facilitate learning.

• Assessment: Understanding how to use assessment methods (formative and summative) to measure learner progress.

• Inclusive Practice: Ensuring your training meets the needs of diverse learners with different learning styles and abilities.

• Delivery: Both courses are typically delivered through a blend of virtual learning sessions, self-study, and practical activities.

• Assessment: The qualification is assessed through a portfolio of evidence which usually includes a minimum of three components:
  

1. Written Assignments: Answering theoretical questions based on the course units.

2. Micro-Teaching Session: Planning and delivering a short teaching session (usually 15–20 minutes) to your peers, which is observed and assessed by a tutor.

3. Reflective Practice: Evaluating your own delivery and identifying areas for future professional development.
