Over a 5 day period, Learners will build an understanding of the specific roles and responsibilities related to planning and delivering inclusive training sessions. Topics covered include: maintaining a safe and supportive learning environment, relationships between teachers and other teaching professionals, assessing Learners and providing constructive and developmental feedback. 

The AET Training Course introduces individuals to the basic principles of teaching and aims to make them more confident as teachers. It also encourages teachers to be more engaging by responding to the needs of the learner.

The course is made up of 3 units:

Unit A: Understanding roles, responsibilities and relationships in education and training, including inclusive teaching and learning approaches in education and training.

Unit B: Facilitate learning and development for individuals and groups.

The final unit will cover the assessment in education and training, including principles and practices of assessment.

The course is assessed by a practical exam and 3 pieces of coursework:

Practical assessment: you will be required to conduct a 15-minute classroom session on the 3rd and last day of the AET Training Course. This is called “Micro Teach” and will be recorded for assessment purposes. Planning and preparation will be covered as part of the course. Upon completion, you will receive useful feedback from your trainer. 

 Written assessments: there are 3 written assessments – one for each unit (see above). You will be required to submit around 1000 words on each unit. Further guidance will be provided during your course by your trainer.
