NOCN Level 3 Award in Education and Training

Session Content

The NOCN Level 3 Award in Education and Training is designed to provide an introduction to working in the education and training sector. Learners will gain knowledge on the roles, responsibilities and relationships in education and training, inclusive teaching and learning approaches, facilitating learning and development with individuals or groups and the role of assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The Level 3 Award in Education and Training provides an introduction to teaching. It can meet the needs of a range of trainee teachers, such as:

individuals not currently teaching or training – achievement of the qualification does not require practice other than microteaching unless units from the Learning and Development suite of qualifications are selected;
individuals currently teaching and training, including those who have just begun teaching and training – although the qualification does not require practice other than microteaching (unless units from the Learning and Development suite of qualifications are selected), opportunities may be made available to observe and provide feedback on a trainee teacher's practice;
individuals currently working as assessors who wish to achieve a qualification that provides an introduction to teaching. Some units from the Learning and Development suite of qualifications may be achieved within this qualification. These units require practice to be assessed.
