Award in Education and Training (AET)

Price range: £195.00 through £275.00 incl. VAT

This course is completed entirely remotely, meaning you can complete it at your own pace, at a time and location which suits you best. It is possible to complete this course within a few days; however, most people take longer – it all depends on you, if we are being honest! Regardless of which option you choose, you are not left on your own. Our work packs have been designed and tested extensively by Mark, a senior leader across a multi-academy Trust, an STA ‘train the tutor’ and RLSS Trainer Assessor. Email advice is also available as and when needed.

All course manuals and work will be sent to you via next-day delivery, and if you choose the Zoom support option, you will have up to 8 1:1 sessions with Mark during the course to offer support and guidance and be that critical friend on your AET journey.

This course also includes tutoring a 15min micro-teach on a subject of your choice. We will work with you to arrange this, again, all via Zoom! You will put the skills you learn during the course into practice for this final presentation.

The Award in Education and Training qualification is the first qualification you undertake on your road to teaching more formalised qualifications. It is the pre-requisite for roles such as the STA Aquatics Tutor course and STA and RLSS first aid trainer assessors tutor statuses.
