Course Overview

This course provides an ideal continuation opportunity for students on the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training. It is taught at a similar level to the BA (Hons) Innovation in Learning and Development, however, this course is more suited to students who already have a Bachelor Honours degree award.

The focus of the course is on teaching practice. This is evident from the modules that cover elements such as Lesson Planning, Curriculum Design and Class Dynamics. Upon successfully completing this course, you will be well prepared for a future career as a Primary or Secondary School teacher.

You will be encouraged to think at a deeper and more critical level on this course compared to your Level 5 studies. Alongside developing the key mechanics of a teacher, you’ll be asked to reflect on your own personality and preferred ways of working.

Successful completion of this course will enable you to progress to further study at Level 7 or embark on a teaching career.
