TUTOR
If you are qualified in a field and are ready to become a tutor in it then you need to take the Level 3 Award in Education and Training. This is the basic training course required for teaching or training anywhere in the public sector as well as the private training industry, FE colleges and HE institutions. Successfully completing this course will qualify you to teach any course in your specialist area so it is a great course to do if you want to teach up to Level 3 courses. There are also Level 4 and Level 5 equivalents which if achieved mean you can teach up that level.
ASSESSOR
If you are also interested in assessing, then the Level 3 Assessor Course qualifies you to assess learners in their place of work and in classroom learning environments as well. Most tutors hold both of these qualifications and they are often taken together.
To be able to become a instructor and run the Emergency First Aid at Work qualification that is taken by tens of thousands of people every year as it is required in almost every industry a person would need to take the L3 Certificate in Education & Training and the 3 day First Aid at Work qualification.
Self employment is becoming ever more popular and it allows for more autonomy over your working life. There are many different routes to self employment such as setting up a sole trader in a specialist field, starting a limited company or teaming up with someone to form a partnership. Whatever you do, specialist business training may be of great benefit. Consider taking a business course such as the L2 Certificate in Business Start up, Principles of Business or LEAN organisational techniques to assist you on this journey.
Work-Ready Bundles
After years of delivering stand-alone qualifications which in many cases led to work, a specific project request led to us realise the enhanced and improved learning experience we can provide when bundling different elements of a program together to make the learners work-ready.
As part of the bundle delivery, we will endeavour to identify potential work offers with local providers in the industry, but at the very least, all learners would receive careers advice and support at the end of the process to help them find work. The potential elements included will depend on what is needed for the specific role we are training students for but around the main qualification needed options include:
Work Experience with prospective employer
