CHANGES TO TEACHER TRAINING QUALIFICATIONS 6502 AWARD, CERTIFICATE & DIPLOMA IN EDUCATION AND TRAINING- NOVEMBER 2013 Slide 2 BACKGROUND TO THE CHANGES Following an independent review in 2012, recommendations for change to the initial teacher training qualifications were made. LSIS was tasked with designing the new qualifications to meet these recommendations: A single qualification at each level. Flexible qualifications that enable a focus on particular learning contexts. Separate qualifications that are not nested. One level 3 knowledge based Award in Education and Training One level 4 knowledge and skills based Certificate in Education and Training. One level 5 knowledge and skills based Diploma in Education and Training with optional specialist pathways which can be used as stand alone CPD Diplomas and have a L3 specialism entry criteria.

There are six units to select from three are Education and Training units and three are Learning and Development units. There is one mandatory unit- unit 301, which is also a mandatory unit in the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training. This is known as a common unit. Unit 302 Understanding and using inclusive teaching and learning approaches in education and training carries 6 credits and is essentially a combination of two units from PTLLS. This offers opportunities for centres to consider holistic approaches to delivery.

To help the FE sector develop the skills needed to deliver on this commitment to young people and to improve the quality of teaching of English and maths more widely across the sector, we have introduced a new Bursary scheme which encourages graduates with relevant degrees to train as specialist teachers of maths, English or SEN. Slide 20 FE INITIAL TEACHER TRAINING BURSARIES Any member of staff who is working in a college or independent provider who is not employed in a teaching capacity may be eligible for a bursary of up to 20k, so long as they hold a relevant degree; do not hold (or qualify to hold) QTS or QTLS; and are not currently undertaking any paid teaching work. This may include FE staff who are (for example) technicians, learning support assistants; and learning resource assistants. To qualify, a trainee must have a relevant degree with at least grade 2.2 to teach maths; and at least grade 2.1 to teach English, or to support learners with special education needs. Slide 21 FE INITIAL TEACHER TRAINING BURSARIES Trainees must train to teach through an eligible ITT course at Level 5 or above. These are offered by a number of providers on both a full and part time basis. The bursary will be paid by the course provider whilst the trainee is on the course. Full details of the bursary scheme, including detailed eligibility criteria and levels of payment can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/further-education-initial-teacher-training- bursary-guide-academic-year-2013-to-2014 People requiring further information should contact the Education and Training Foundation helpline on 0300 303 1877.
