The Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training (CET) is delivered online through our user-friendly Moodle Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), allowing you to study at your own pace while receiving full support from our experienced tutors.

Throughout the course, you will complete a series of structured assignments designed to develop your teaching knowledge and practical skills. Our dedicated online tutor will guide you through each stage, providing feedback and support to help you succeed.

To achieve this qualification, you will need to demonstrate a minimum of 30 hours of teaching practice, including at least 3 hours of observed teaching. This ensures you gain real-world experience and confidence in delivering effective training sessions.

Once you have registered, you will receive your login details for the VLE. You will also be asked to complete an initial assessment form, followed by a telephone interview at a convenient time. This helps us understand your experience and ensure you are fully supported throughout the course.

Depending on any existing qualifications you hold, such as assessing or Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) awards, you may be required to complete additional units to achieve the necessary credits for this qualification. We will advise you on this during your initial assessment.

Do I need to complete the Unit 1?

We also offer an induction day where we can guide you through your course and set you off in the right direction. As part of your induction day, you can also deliver your first observed teaching session. 

The course is made up of a few units.

Part one – The pricing of the course, assumes that you already have PTLLS level 3 (12 credit) or Award in Education in Training. If this is the case, you do not have to complete this unit. If you do not have this qualification, you will need to complete the extra unit.

Part two – This unit is theory based and you submit your work through the VLE. This course is at level 4 which means that you must write academically and you have to reference your work. Written assignments are completed using the templates provided online.

Lessons will include subjects such as roles responsibilities and relationships, learning and development and how to plan and deliver teaching. It will also cover relationships in education.

Part three – In this unit you evidence your teaching practice. You have to deliver and evidence at least 30 hours of teaching. You will create schemes of work and session plans for your lessons. 

You will also have copies of all teaching material, tests, Power Point etc. On the VLE are initial assessments, individual learning plans and course evaluations are downloaded and used to help evaluate and evidence your learners. 

You will be observed on three occasions actually delivering training. These observations are at least one hour and you will be assessed using a different set of criteria on each assessment. Please contact us about how this works as each case will be different for each learner. We offer two prices, one if you have a qualified assessor and one if you require us to attend your teaching session to assess you.

Part four –Is a theory module where you gain a further 15 credit points. You can have an exemption from this unit or part of this unit if you have some units that are allowed. The types of courses that are acceptable are like CAVA (assessing) and Internal Quality Assurance (IQA). 

Both of these units meet the credit points needed. Do not worry if you don’t have these, you simply complete the extra theory unit to complete the course.

Please contact us if you are considering taking any assessing courses as it may be cheaper to add them to the Certificate in Education and Training.

Part five – To successfully complete this course. you must create your portfolio folder and reference it using material on the VLE to prove how you have met the course learning outcomes.
