There are many training providers offering similar sounding qualifications to the Level 3 Award in Education & Training but it is worth noting the awarding body. It is important to check the awarding body is an Ofqual registered and regulated qualification. It is also worth checking who the awarding body are. VTCT are world-renowned and the preferred awarding body for employers to take on training professionals as they are assured of the quality of the qualification. While the awarding body for similar, cheaper qualifications may be Ofqual registered, there are many new awarding bodies that may not carry as much weight when looking to enter the industry to teach. Also consider the quality of the course delivery – ours is delivered through our tried and tested online student portal so you can learn at your own pace, accessible 24/7 online, even on mobile. You also have access to our Support team throughout your studies & beyond!

There are no formal pre-requisite qualifications that you must have prior to undertaking this qualification.

However, it is advised you have relevant industry experience and hold a  recognised qualification(s) within the industry/sector you will be looking to teach within. Having such qualifications will give you the best opportunity for working within teaching beyond the award and ensure you are eligible to obtain suitable insurance to teach.

Students will need to have previously achieved GCSE English or equivalent to ensure you have a good command of spoken and written English to be successful within the VTCT qualification. Students will need access to a pc to complete coursework and online assessment.

All students enrolling for this course must be aged 18 or over.

Upon completion of this course, you will hold an internationally recognised qualification to deliver training, often known as a ‘PTTLS’ qualification. PTLLS stands for Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector and is the first step for those wishing to become a qualified educator. Obtaining a PTLLS qualification is required of all educators, to be able to teach in Level 3, post-compulsory education (students over the age of 16). This will allow you to gain insurance to deliver training courses, whether this is on behalf of a private training provider or delivering your own courses.

If looking to gain employment, you will be able to apply for positions to teach any subjects within which you also hold suitable professional qualifications i.e., recognised beauty certificates/qualifications. Private training companies are regularly advertising for employed or self-employed training professionals to deliver their own approved courses. We would always recommend gaining some experience training for an established academy before venturing out to start your own training business, to ensure you are aware of the industry and needs of learners. This will allow you to best tailor your courses for success.

You may wish to start your own training academy. Once you have obtained your VTCT Level 3 in Education & Training and provided you hold recognised qualifications within the subjects you wish to teach, you can look to devise your own training programmes. You will need to ensure you have teaching insurance in place also. When devising your course materials, you will usually need a structured lesson plan with learning objectives and assessment measures, course manuals for your students and template for your certification. You will also need policies in place to cover your learners such as equal opportunities policy. You can usually find templates to begin these through a simple internet search.

Once you have your courses designed and resources ready, you will need to ensure your learners can gain insurance on completion of your training. This is usually arranged by accrediting your courses through an accrediting body or insurance partner. Examples within beauty include BABTAC, ABT, IPHM, the CPD register or insurers such as InSync or Radius. You would need to contact the accrediting / insurance organisation directly to confirm their process for verifying your courses, there are often fees involved for this process. Once accredited, you just need to start advertising your courses and get training!
