Course Description
This Diploma in Education and Training, Level 5, is an online course that provides students with a professional, OFQUAL recognised qualification that is awarded by Training Qualifications UK Ltd.
The training programme is designed to prepare trainee teachers and educational trainers to teach in a wide range of contexts that require observation and assessment of practice.
