Bolsover Community Voluntary Service are partnering with Vision West Nottinghamshire College who will be delivering this seven-week programme.

This programme is explicitly designed as a supportive and practical stepping stone toward the Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET). It is funded through Tailored Learning, meaning the content is highly contextualised to the needs of adult learners and the community sector, making it immediately relevant for aspiring tutors.

The course is structured to align directly with the three core units of the AET:

●      Understanding Roles, Responsibilities, and Relationships: Covered in Weeks 1 and 5.

●      Understanding and Using Inclusive Teaching and Learning Approaches: Covered in Weeks 2, 3, and 4.

●      Understanding Assessment: Covered in Week 6

By dedicating time to practical skills before the holiday break (Weeks 1-4) and culminating with the essential Micro-teach (Week 7), participants build confidence and gather evidence necessary for the formal AET assignments. The compulsory Online CPD during the February half term break ensures continuity of learning and introduces the digital component increasingly relevant in adult education.

Successful completion will provide participants with:

1.    A strong practical foundation in teaching adults.

2.    A completed, assessed Micro-teach session.

3.    The necessary knowledge to confidently tackle the written assignments required for the formal Level 3 AET qualification.
