The Highfield Level 3 Award in Education and Training (RQF) has been designed to provide an introduction to teaching for individuals who would like to work or currently work within FE Colleges, Independent Training Providers and/or Local Authorities.
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 new to the profession –
although the qualification does not require practice (see explanation above),
opportunities may be made available to observe and provide feedback on a trainee
teacher’s practice; and
Individuals currently working as assessors, who wish to achieve a qualification that
provides an introduction to teaching.
The objective of the qualification is to support a role in the workplace and prepare learners to
progress to a qualification in the same subject area but at a higher level. The qualification is
supported by the Education and Training Foundation.

In order to complete this qualification, learners are required to:
• Be a minimum of 19 years of age.
There are no other formal entry requirements. However, there is a requirement to carry out an
initial assessment of a trainee teacher’s personal skills in maths, English and ICT. Development needs
should be recorded and, where applicable, an action plan agreed. If trainee teachers join the
qualification programme having already undertaken an initial assessment of their maths, English
and ICT skills, their record of development needs and any previous actions taken to address them
should be reviewed and updated as required.
This qualification is assessed by a portfolio of evidence which must cover all assessment criteria of the units selected.
