C&G Level 3 Award in Education and Training

The City & Guilds Level 3 Award in Education and Training is a a practical introduction to the principles and practice of teaching, learning and assessment. Participants will gain understanding of the roles and responsibilities of a teacher/trainer in relation to legislation, equality, inclusivity and meeting learner needs. They will be able to plan and deliver sessions using appropriate resources and teaching methods, and identify the characteristics of effective assessment and feedback.

It is the ideal qualification for those looking to enhance their skills or move into a teaching role; such as learning and development leads, Clinical Coaches, team members with responsibility for EMS students in their practice, those giving lectures or workshops at events, or anyone looking to develop their teaching and training practice.

External accreditation means you get the best of both worlds: A bespoke teaching qualification tailored to the particular nuances of the veterinary world, and a globally-recognised qualification that you can take anywhere.  You are also able to build a qualification that suits you with a choice of modules, depending on your particular role and teaching interests.

Modules:

• 301 Understanding roles, responsibilities and relationships in education and training
• 303 Facilitating learning and development for individuals; OR 304 Facilitating learning and development in groups
• 306 Understanding the principles and practice of assessment

Assessment:
